# NickelMenu (libnm.so)
#
# This tool injects menu items into Nickel.
#
# It should work on firmware 4.6+, but it has only been tested on 4.20.14622. It
# is perfectly safe to try out on any newer firmware version, as it has a lot of
# error checking, and a failsafe mechanism which automatically uninstalls it as
# a last resort.
#
# Place your configuration files in this folder (/mnt/onboard/.adds/nm). They
# can be named anything, and should consist of multiple lines either starting
# with # for a comment, or in the the following format:
#
# menu_item:<location>:<label>:<action>:<arg>
# Adds a menu item (spaces around fields are ignored).
#
# <location> the menu to add the item to, one of:
# main - the menu in the top-left corner of the home screen
# reader - the overflow menu in the reader
# <label> the label to show on the menu item (must not contain :)
# <action> the type of action to run, one of:
# dbg_syslog - writes a message to syslog (for testing)
# dbg_error - always returns an error (for testing)
# dbg_msg - shows a message (for testing)
# dbg_toast - shows a toast (for testing)
# kfmon - triggers a kfmon action (TODO)
# nickel_setting - toggles a boolean setting
# nickel_extras - opens one of the beta features
# nickel_misc - other stuff which isn't significant enough for its own category
# cmd_spawn - starts another process or script in the background
# cmd_output - runs a command and displays the output
# <arg> the argument passed to the action:
# dbg_syslog - the text to write
# dbg_error - the error message
# dbg_msg - the message
# dbg_toast - the message
# kfmon - TODO
# nickel_setting - one of:
# invert - toggles FeatureSettings.InvertScreen (all versions)
# lockscreen - toggles PowerSettings.UnlockEnabled (4.12.12111+)
# screenshots - toggles FeatureSettings.Screenshots (all versions)
# nickel_extras - the mimetype of the plugin, or one of:
# web_browser
# unblock_it
# sketch_pad
# solitaire
# sudoku
# word_scramble
# nickel_misc - one of:
# force_usb_connection - forces a usb connection dialog to be shown
# rescan_books - forces nickel to rescan books
# rescan_books_full - forces a full usb connect/disconnect cycle
# cmd_spawn - the command line to pass to /bin/sh -c (started in /)
# cmd_output - the timeout in milliseconds (0 < t < 10000), a colon, then the command line to pass to /bin/sh -c (started in /)
#
# For example, you might have a configuration file in KOBOeReader/.adds/nm/mystuff like:
#
# menu_item :main :Show an Error :dbg_error :This is an error message!
# menu_item :main :Do Nothing :cmd_spawn :sleep 60
# menu_item :main :Kernel Version :cmd_output :500:uname -a
# menu_item :main :Sketch Pad :nickel_extras :Sketch Pad
# menu_item :reader :Invert Screen :nickel_setting :invert
#
# You will need to reboot to see any changes.
#
# If there is a error in the configuration, an item which displays it will be
# added to the main menu. If an internal error occurs, it is written to syslog,
# which can be viewed over telnet or SSH (the username is root) with the command
# logread.
#
# To uninstall NickelMenu, create a file named KOBOeReader/.adds/nm/uninstall,
# or manually uninstall it by deleting libnm.so. You can also uninstall it by
# triggering the failsafe mechanism by turning your Kobo off within 20 seconds
# of turning it on.
