I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work on Windows, maybe Scintilla 
doesn't support block cursor there, although google couldn't find it anywhere 
in the [docs](https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html).

Yes, the `[named_styles]` section of filetypes.common is the default colour 
scheme. So if you change the colour scheme it will be replaced by your 
selection.  If you look at colour scheme files you will find they have a 
replacement `[named_styles]` section.

The `[styling]` section in `filetypes.xxx` files map those named styles from 
the colour scheme to lexical entities for the language xxx.  For 
`filetypes.common` the `[styling]` section maps non-language specific settings 
like caret, so you can edit the `caret=` in the `[styling]` section replacing 
the style name `caret` with the literal value from the `[named_styles]` 
section.  Don't forget to uncomment it and the `[styling]` line.
