Attached patch introduces a new environment variable hotkey_action. It
can be set to select or execute, whereas the latter is the default. So
the default behaviour doesn't change. With select set instead a menu
entry is just selected and not executed/booted on hotkey press.
This is for example useful for long menus to directly jump to some
initial and afterwards select the desired entry without going through
the whole menu. One still has to explicitly mark the menu entry to
jump to with the hotkey attribute. This patch only allows to change
the action to take on hotkey press.
Not much code and most is inspired from grub_menu_get_timeout. Applies
and works with r3991.
Add support to the menu for changing the action on hotkey press:
execute (default), select
* grub-core/normal/menu.c (DEFAULT_HOTKEY_ACTION): New define.
This is a global change (affecting all menuentries) for a local goal
(have a jump hotkey for a menuentry). This has a drawback of making
simultaneous inclusion of two files with different behaviour
problematic. This should be implemented as a separate --jump-hotkey with
additional benefit of allowing both hotkey and jump hotkey at the same time.
(run_menu): Handle hotkey_action.
(grub_menu_get_hotkey_action): New function.
* include/grub/menu.h (grub_menu_get_hotkey_action): New prototype.
(grub_hotkey_action_type_t): New enum.
