When I last looked into this, this wasn't possible with UEFI: the firmware doesn't tell us about held modifier keys. You'll probably need to use a short but non-zero timeout and press Escape instead. (It's possible that more recent versions of the UEFI spec have improved this; but if so then somebody would need to implement that in GRUB, and it would still only work if you had new enough firmware.) -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
