Question - IDE Text Editor Colors?

Suuuuuuper minor but Is there a way to save / export our text editor color schemes? I'm 99% sure I can probably find them in an ini file and just manually cut and paste... but where?

Not a fan of orange, and I use GMS2 on two machines (laptop/desktop) so it'd be nice to be able to have a consistent scheme!

I know this is over 5 years old, but... I would love this too
Replying yet another 2 years later, I just hunted around with procmon (probably overkill but it certainly does the job!) and GM stores this info in your local_settings.json, along with a bunch of other stuff like YYC VS path, default script content, Android keystore stuff and so forth.

You can find that in %appdata%\GameMakerStudio2\<your username>_<user id>\local_settings.json, or in the equivalent location for MacOS (~/Library/Application Support/GameMakerStudio2 from memory)
