make default "inline interlinear" settings user-configurable

Currently the "inline interlinear" options under the "interlinears" button (circled in red in the screenshot below) are saved for the primary resource in use (in my case the BHS) and not for other resources opened alongside it (NASB, for example) in "multiple books display" (circled in yellow in the screenshot below). Because of the complication, I suppose, of saving separate "inline interlinear" settings for every possible combination of primary and secondary resource (those to the right of the "|" in the tab title, see screenshot), these settings are instead loaded from defaults which are not configurable by the user. Unfortunately for me, these defaults are five settings off of what I use on a daily basis.

I would like to propose making these default settings user-configurable… even if it were doable in a resource file somewhere and not in the main settings interface.

My default workflow is to open the BHS/BHW with some combination of other (hereafter "secondary") resources selected in "multiple books display", whether that be the NASB, Septuagint, Targum, Sept + Targum, NASB + Targum, etc. This means that approximately 3-5 times a day, when opening new resource combinations in multiple books display, I am required to deselect five different check-boxes in the "inline interlinear settings" (see screenshot below).

Although an ideal solution might be to have separate settings logging every pairing/combination of primary and secondary resources, my solution of simply allowing the user to configure defaults would solve 95% of the issues and could be implemented by a single programmer with less than an hour of work. I personally have never needed to customize the interlinear options for differing secondary resources. I use the same settings everyday and across all resources. Unfortunately for me, those settings just don't happen to be the defaults (seemingly) hard-coded into the program.
