NickelMenu script to toggle page-turn buttons from Default to Inverted, please

I'm moderately visually impaired, and so use "Large Print Mode" (a beta feature) on my Kobo Libra 2.

That has the unfortunate effect of moving the "BUTTON CONTROLS" on the in-book "Reading settings" menu to the second page; it's where you can toggle the action of the physical page-turn buttons from "Default" (with "PREVIOUS" on top and "NEXT" on bottom) to the reverse, which Kobo calls "Inverted."

I almost never use the "previous" (page backward) button, but I do change the way I hold my Libra 2 a lot.

One of the patches is for making both buttons go forward — but that patch got broken in the latest firmware update, and so I'm now constantly having to reverse the setting.

I'd be very grateful if some kind soul could work out a NickelMenu toggle to reverse whatever the current setting is, toggling between what Kobo calls the "Default" and "Inverted" settings for "BUTTON CONTROLS."

Many thanks!

Rob

Do you need the latest firmware? DO you use Instapaper or the BT remote page turner? If no, you could go try the patch against 4.38.23171 and if it works, you could go back to that firmware.

I do use Instapaper extensively, and I've also purchased the remote.
