When setting the mark and moving the cursor in the editor, the selected
text is always in inverse video too (or bold when --boldtext is used).

Unselected files are like normal text in the editor: no syntax applies
to them, so they get no color.

But if you add an option 'selectcolor' that applies to both selected text
in the editor and the selected file in the browser, I will accept.
