 == Purpose ==
 This page is meant to help direct the defaults given in PC-BSD{{RM}} for all of the available desktops whether "''supported''" or "''unsupported''" so that the initial configuration is more intuitive, reasonable, usable, and non-jarring. The defaults defined here may also influence function/effect(s) within PC-BSD{{RM}} specific applications or modules. Another potential outcome ''could'' be a similar consistency in the default options chosen for the desktops in regard to the FreeBSD ports themselves.

 == How defaults might be determined ==
 The intent is not to emulate Mac or Windows, however, some things may be accepted widely enough to consider as default behavior. Not all desktops contain all options as listed, but should conform to the guideline where ever possible. Where a default may be of less consequence, the most common feature among those with a choice should default to the static feature of any others.

		+	Very easily the concept of more than two mouse buttons can get forgotten. It had been common to have each of three buttons set with dedicated functions such as middle for paste. These can be defined though defaults tend to favor expected action of two button mice, and should remain so, with the third or further buttons defined uniformally.

+: Both Windows and MacOS have preferred double-click. In addition to these being assumed defaults to those migrating from them, it ought to be a known either-or possibility of double versus single click. When you expect double-click and use it in a place that single-click is default, the results are unexpected and jarring. If single click is used in a place where double-click is default, nothing happens but there is also not two instances started/opened of whatever was clicked upon.
