How to set default gradient to foreground to background always? And black to white for masks?

Question

My question's exactly as the subject - I'd like to be able to have fore to back as a default gradient and black to white as a default when masking, it used to work that way but now I can never be sure what gradient and why appears when I switch to gradient tool. Resetting tool does not really help - meaning it helps sometimes and I have to do it either every time I start the program or even for a new document, it's hindering and extremely inocvenient &#128542;

All these settings are sticky, last setting is remembered. If you think about it, that is really the only way to do it, or there would be a flood of complaints.

What you need to do is use the keyboard shortcuts. D resets the swatches to default, which is black foreground and white background. X swaps them.
