Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/issues/399

When using default settings, users will experience fewer bugs. So when there are issues, resetting to the default can be a quick fix/workaround. And this can lead to better bug reports.

We did this in Tiki for http://doc.tiki.org/Site-configuration-preferences. I got used to it and miss it in other applications. Basically, it shows user which settings have been modified and lets them reset to default.

Pàdé even has the concept of a Factory Reset: https://github.com/igniterealtime/pade

This is the lowest priority, so we'll probably never get to it :-) On the other hand, it's an easy first task to get a developer involved.
