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.
Your guess is correct. confoptions/ksm_ini_options.txt is not a configuration file. This file contains the options that the user is presented with, when he uses KSM "configure" (of the KSM main menu). For instance, for the key "useMultiplefonts" you will be offered to choose between the values "true" and "false." For the key "kobomenuFontsize" you are offered the possible values 35,45,55. If you want to have more options you can edit confoptions/ksm_ini_options.txt. For "ksmAutoselectafter", there is only one option offered, namely 20. If you want to have other values to select from edit confoptions/ksm_ini_options.txt like this:

Code:
ksmAutoselectafter=-1
ksmAutoselectafter=5
ksmAutoselectafter=10
ksmAutoselectafter=20
ksmAutoselectafter=30
The real configuration file is on the system partition. This is to allow KSM to access the configuration data also when the user partition is unmounted.

So please use the menu item "configure." If you prefer you can edit the configuration file directly. Its location is adds/kbmenu/ksm_ini. But I see no reason to do this.

See also this post, which is for KSM 7, but still gives the general idea.
