In the past I always edited usersettings.txt file to set ksmAutoselectafter=-1 to disable the "auto boot into nickel if nothing happened in 20 seconds" feature. Now I see this option is mentioned in the file confoptions/ksm_ini_options.txt but this file is probably just a help text, because it contains lines like

useMultiplefonts=true
useMultiplefonts=false

which obviously makes no sense whatsoever (why set a variable to "true" and then immediately set it to "false").

So, I assumed that I need to set it in the file runsettings.txt but this does not work either.

Therefore, please tell me how to disable this annoying feature. I have 7-8 devices and sometimes I boot them all into KSM simultaneously and I don't want to have to touch every single device to prevent this auto-boot into nickel.
