Misha, I've got the same issue. Though, I'm not using "color-inverted"
mode -- instead, I've got some custom dark-themed low-contrast
filetypes files set up (moved to
http://www.milliwatt-software.com/jmg/files/colors_to_hex.tar.gz from
/temp BTW).

Seems like it would be nice if there were a filetypes.none file where
I could just set foreground and background. I tried copying
~/opt/share/geany/filetypes.common to my ~/.geany/filedefs with just
having these lines:

[styling]
default=0xf0f0f0;0x5f5f5f;false;false

but that didn't help.

Oooh. Another feature that would be handy. I got used to split-window
in Emacs (and jEdit too) and now I'm a bit spoiled. :)
