Feature purposal: Show the boot menu when a key is hold

raphm4044 opened this issue · comments

How it would work?

If the boot menu is disabled (timeout: 0, and quiet: yes), you can hold a key (example: Shift key) to show the boot menu and other entries.

How it is useful?

It could be useful if you don't like the boot menu, but you need sometimes to go on a fallback Linux kernel & initramfs, on a Linux PC.

Hi,
you can already achieve this by doing timeout: 1 and quiet: yes. That gives you 1 second of timeout to press a key and reveal the menu, you can use other values for timeout.

Okay thanks, didn't know that
