I think that, if we have a serial console, we should have a minimum 250ms delay or so such that, if I hold down a key, I get a grub menu. (Does UEFI buffer keystrokes? It might be sufficient to just check *once* for buffered keystrokes.) On systems where I have a serial console, I want to be able to rescue the system, full stop. On UEFI, we should at least try, I think. And checking once for buffered keystrokes would be really nice too. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7M2UKNHYECMNPPD5IFCKFKXLYDPPL3XK/
