I don't disagree about having another key, I just disagree that F8 is a good choice. Looking at https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=58779#here it appears no one uses F4 for anything. That would seem like a better choice than F8 at least. F6 also seems to be free but F4 seems nicer on desktop keyboards. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
