From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 16:15:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Accept ESC, F8 and holding SHIFT as user interrupt keys On some devices the ESC key is the hotkey to enter the BIOS/EFI setup screen, making it really hard to time pressing it right. Besides that ESC is also pretty hard to discover for a user who does not know it will unhide the menu. This commit makes F8, which used to be the hotkey to show the Windows boot menu during boot for a long long time, also interrupt sleeps / stop the menu countdown. This solves the ESC gets into the BIOS setup and also somewhat solves the discoverability issue, but leaves the timing issue unresolved. This commit fixes the timing issue by also adding support for keeping SHIFT pressed during boot to stop the menu countdown. This matches what Ubuntu is doing, which should also help with discoverability.
