Random facts, tips and tricks:

Unlike other methods, enabling invert screen through NickelMenu takes effect instantly.
You can use cmd_spawn to add an action to remove screenshots and prevent them from being imported.
rescan_books is useful for software which transfers books wirelessly (and if you chain it after cmd_output, it waits for it to complete first).
The config file ignores whitespace, so you can make everything nicely aligned if you want.
If you write tools and apps for Kobos, you can include a NickelMenu config file in the installation package, and it will be automatically picked up.
If you want to learn more about ELF injection, C++ vtables, Nickel's design, and so on, take a look at the source code on GitHub.

More coming soon...
