Set defaults for new text objects

Description
It would be nice if it was possible to set defaults for newly created text objects. Currently, if a created text object does not match my desired behavior (vertical/horizonal alignment, size/style etc); I have to enter the properties of the text object and change these to the desired settings. This can get annoying if creating several "headline" (large/bold font) objects. Examples of how this could be implemented:
A. Newly created text object inherits properties from previously created text object. B. A "default text properties" tab somewhere in preferences (or in the text tool itself). C. "Style" based text behvaior. The user selects or creates the desired text style, which is essentially a pre-set version of the text properties dialog, and this set of properties are applied to the currently selected text object and any subsequently created text objects.
Current Use Scenario: 1). User selects text tool. 2). User creates a new text object in the diagram. 3). User adds content into the text object. 4). If user wants non-default behavior of the text object, user must enter properties and setup alignment/style/etc.
Desired Use Scenario: 1). User selects text tool. 2). User sets default behavior for text tool (as B above) or selects desired "style" (as C above). 3). User creates text object in diagram. 4). User adds content to text object.
I'm aware of using copy-paste if I want to have similar behavior in a new text object, but a style-type system would be really trick. Or atleast something where I can set default behavior for the text tool.
