Default WordPress Theme Customizer Controls

I’ve recently been messing around with the WP Theme Customizer a bunch and have been looking for the names of all the default settings, sections, and controls. I found them in a file in the wp-includes folder:

/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php

The various default section names, setting names, and 'priority' are listed below.This is mostly useful if you’re trying to simply rearrange the position ('priority' => 20) of some options, or want to rename some of them like so:

$wp_customize->get_section( 'nav' )->title = __( 'Menus', 'theme_slug' );
$wp_customize->get_control( 'blogname' )->priority = 10;
$wp_customize->get_setting( 'background_color' )->default = '#169A70';

Site Title & Tagline ('title_tagline'), 20
1. 'blogname'
2. 'blogdescription'
3. 'display_header_text'
Colors ('colors'), 40
1. 'header_textcolor'
2. 'background_color'
Header Image ('header_image'), 60
1. 'header_image'
2. 'header_image_data'
Background Image ('background_image'), 80
1. 'background_image_thumb'
2. 'background_repeat'
3. 'background_position_x'
4. 'background_attachment'
Navigation ('nav'), 100
1. "nav_menu_locations[{$location}]"
Widgets ('widgets'), 110
Static Front Page ('static_front_page'), 120
1. 'show_on_front'
2. 'page_on_front'
3. 'page_for_posts'

The code specifically for 'widgets' is located in:

/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php

The full code for the default Theme Customizer settings is here:

 /**
