Could an incorrect message at least be avoided? How about crowdsourcing scan code translations? Include ESC, F12 and a few others, print the scan code itself into the message for all unknown scan codes in boot-menu-key, and accept patches (or not!) for more scan codes. > I don't think it is too hard to also update CBFS with the desired message. It's not. I don't think it is too hard for SeaBIOS to at least not output an incorrect instruction. > FYI, the boot-menu-key / boot-menu-message files aren't new.
