Sleep Disable/Enable KUAL+ extensions
I'v made a couple of KUAL+ extensions to disable and re-enable sleep. Possible use cases include keeping a page open as reference for an extended time, preventing sleep while indexing a large number of newly loaded books, and preventing sleep while usbnetworking. Remember to re-enable sleep when finished with any of the above to maximize energy saving.

Sleep disable performs the same action as doing a search on ~ds, but in a more convenient way. Sleep Enable re-enables sleep, which would otherwise require a restart of the Kindle.

These work great on my KV 5.8.11 and KOA2 5.9.2 and is reported to work on PW3 5.8.9.11 and 5.9.6.1, KT5 5.3.7.3, and PW5 5.14.1.1. Please reply here with results for other models.

Note that starting with firmware 5.14.2 the ~ds search string no longer disables sleep on stock firmware, so jaibreak is required to disable sleep at all.
