Why do you get a bootloop from editing a URL, anyway?

I was wondering if there was a patch where the names of items on the bottom menu on the home screen could be shortened ('My Books' to 'Books,' 'My Notebooks' to 'Notes')? I was able to do this for the Nickelmenu link, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this with the others. I have to use a larger font for the UI due to my eyesight, so the words of the links are too close together.

I got my first Kobo reader yesterday, and the wasted space (both in the text, and in the button that's completely worthless to me because I don't have a pen) was bugging me too, so I implemented removing the NickelMenu button and removing/configuring existing buttons in NickelMenu. If you want to play around with it before the pull request gets merged/a release happens, you can download this build and mimic the configuration in the second pull request.

Would you please show a before/after photos? Also what would this release do for a Libra 2?

It'd be nice if there was a quicker highlight way, maybe in setting to disable the dialogue that comes after holding on a word, so it will only highlight. or maybe double tap and hold to highlight.

You can see an after image here: https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMenu/pull/174
That example hides the Home and My Notebooks buttons, changes the text on My Book to just Books, and unhides the Activity button, which is secretly created but hidden by default.

It'd also nice to get stylus features
