I’d like to be able to open Settings from NickelMenu also. ��

I would also like to know if this is possible!

Of course!
The result is that now there's a button that does nothing.

You could open a ticket on the NickelMenu GitHub to ask for such a feature, but I guess you currently can't disable the main NickelMenu button.

I am on windows and have a kobo libra color. For some reason, nickel menu will not show up on my kobo. My computer keeps downloading the nickel menu file as a zip file. I tried to copy the nickel menu file zipped and unzipped but still to no avail. I really want nickel menu on my kobo.

Hi y'all, I was wondering if there was a way to trigger the Kobo sync (Sync Now button) through NickelMenu? Ideally would like to have an option that turns on Wi-Fi -> connects to network -> runs the sync -> turns off wi-fi. Thanks in advance for any help here!

An option to start the sync would be fantastic!

I think you can do it by opening the discover page for example (using the NickelMenu config file). But it would be nice if it is possible to just start the sync by itself in the background instead of having NickelMenu opening the discover page on the device while you are using it for other things when you just want to do a sync.
