Enhancement: Define a submenu as default_entry

opened this issue · comments

commented

Hey,

it would be nice, if it were possible to define a submenu as default boot entry. Now it is impossible to run unattended through the limine boot menu, if you create with each update a new config with limine-entry-tool to match the new Blake2 checksums. Limine Entry tool creates automatically Submenus.

You can add + in your OS menu to keep submenus visible.

Here’s an example:

/+Your distro
...
//kernel version
...

default_entry is an index that points to any submenu of your choice.

ah nice, it works! perhaps it's useful to add that to the default_entry category in the config.md

It is already in config.md https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine/blob/v8.x/CONFIG.md

Directories can be expanded (meaning they will not show up as collapsed in the menu) by default if a + is put between the /s and the beginning of the entry's title.
