MARP68, below is my config file.

Note that the congif file can have ANY name, but I suggest you give it one ending in .txt -- although you can't EDIT .txt files on a Kobo, you can VIEW them (they'll show up in your books list if you select imported titles), which can be handy if you've forgotten what you've set up.

My file is called config-nickel-menu.txt, and it lets me do the following: invert (that is toggle night mode) from any of the four usages modes (main, reading, browser, and library); choose any of the four possible orientations from all modes; access Pocket articles from any of the four modes.

I put "> " in front of each of the orientation opens just to differentiate them on the menu list other options; makes the displayed menu easier to read but is hardly necessary. I also prefer to call the "upside down" orientations "reverse" rather than "inverse," so that inverse screen [toggle night mode] and inverse orientation [flip 180 degrees from normal] don't get confused in my mind.
