How to fill in the background of a text box?

Currently the text tool simply embeds the typed out text using the Foreground color. Is there an option to fill the entire text box (apart from the text) with the Background color?

So, for example, my foreground color is black and background is white and I have a blank image of uniform color (say, blue). I want to choose the text tool, drag out the text box, type in what I want, hit Ctrl+D and the result is a white rectangle filled with black text.

Thank you for any help.
