How do you make a perfect star in Illustrator?

To create the “perfect” star without having to change the settings, press-and-hold Option-Shift (PC: Alt-Shift) while clicking-and-dragging the star. Option/Alt changes the radius to the “ideal” setting for a perfect star and shift will ensure the sides of the star are straight.
