Surprised to see it's still going.

It actually could be done, when the solution is found for older fw versions I'll try to remember to make an update that will make working with individual files easier. I can't remember why exactly didn't I do this in the first place, but it could be just too much for KUAL and was dropped during testing.

Anyway, I've been thinking about adding an interface into overlay somehow, my best idea is to make it either a plugin for KOReader (if it's even possible, never used it), or to use LIPC and show the interface on an event. Or even make a separate app for audiobook listeners.

I've managed to track down useful events for those who might wish to try it before I have a chance. I've not been able to find an event that is triggered for the main menu, but the book overlay and the "crown" (which is status bar probably) is these two in com.lab126.winmgr:

titleBarVisiblityChange "invisible"
chromeVisiblityChange "chromeDown"

So one can subscribe to them like this:

lipc-wait-event -m com.lab126.winmgr titleBarVisiblityChange,chromeVisiblityChange

and track whether the overlay is open or not.

To find the actual menu event it would help to do:

lipc-probe -a
# get a lot of possible interfaces
# for each of them do
lipc-wait-event -m {interface} "*"
# lipc-wait-event -m com.lab126.winmgr "*"
# and try to open the menu

but it's a lot and obvious places didn't give me much.
