Yes. The menuentry command accepts a --hotkey option as documented here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#menuentry . Unfortunately there is no current way to add --hotkey options to the menuentry commands generated by grub-mkconfig without editing /etc/grub.d/10_linux, which I don't recommend doing as upgrades provided by your distribution will eventually either replace this file or fail to update it, either of which will eventually break things. Instead I would recommend either writing your grub.cfg manually, including the appropriate --hotkey option in your menu entries, or creating a master grub.cfg which sets $default based on hotkeys before using configfile to load your grub-mkconfig generated grub.cfg. There's also likely a cleaner solution, and I will try to think about it more and respond again if I come up with anything. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
