Paint selection mode in UV editor 2.8

So it seems the circle selection mode shortcut is removed in the uv editor or maybe i'm just missing something. I know its under the selection tools and you can choose circle select from the selection tool options but it doesn't work as comfortably as the old way where you press c and then you can use scroll wheel to increase the size of the circle instead you have to set the tool to circle and then while selecting (holding down LMB) you have to try to scroll the mouse wheel to increase the size. Also the shortcut is available in 3d view so its sort of inconsistent for it to not be in uv editor?
