Default Electric Idle

I’d like to hear how people are setting up their 2M electrics for maintaining a low idle.

I imagine it would be desirable to have a switch that when activated would cause the motor to idle even with the throttle stick all the way down.

Is it common practice to have a switch that behaves in this way?

If so, what is a good idle RPM?

Should the RPM vary for landing idle vs. aerobatics idle?

Thanks,
