            Bug ID: 376809
           Summary: Icon request: status icon for marking "default" item
                    in a list & action icon "Set As Default"
           Product: Breeze
           Version: 5.9.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icons

  Target Milestone: ---

Given a list of items with the property to have one item in the list being the
default one for selecting an item from this list:

when editing this list including which item will be the default one, it would
be nice to have a generic symbolic icon which denotes the state of being the
default item from the list. Which could be shown with the directly with the
item as a decorator. This would avoid having to use a text "Default" or some
other non-unique mark up to denote that state directly on the item in the list
presentation.
"list-default" or "list-default-symbolic" might be a proper name.

Next, the UI often has a button to set the currently selected item in the list
to be the default item, with a button text like "Set As Default". For this
action it might be nice to have an action icon as well, which could be used
with the text or, when needed, instead of the text.
"list-set-as-default" might be a proper icon name.

Example: 
In Konsole, open Settings > Configure Konsole..., Tab Profile
The item being the default one here is printed with a bold name.

"starred-symbolic" as state icon serves almost the purpose by look and name
semantics, but it would be better to have something which includes the
exclusiveness, given there is only one default item.
"preferences-desktop-default-applications" is from the application category,
but very related.
