feature request: invert selection bg and fg colors #2395

It may be useful to invert the colors with the following settings.

ui {
    selection {
        invert_colors true
    }
}

In current behavior, zellij uses bg color as selection background color. if terminal emulator has similar color scheme to zellij, this behavior reduces visibility. I tried invert bg and fg colors in selection, visibility looks better.

Thanks for the solution. I use gruvbox as my alacritty and zellij theme. Selection color wasn't even showing when I switched to zellij.

Definitely needed! The default gruvbox dark theme isn't really usable if you are also using gruvbox in your terminal (which I imagine most people are).

I also need this very badly - I hope #2488 gets some more attention

Yes please, I can't see the selection because I use similar colors for zellij and shell/terminal.
