Re: Accessing boot menu when GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

[AAA BBB]

Dear Andrei,

thank you so much for your suggestions.

I got it working by setting `GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden`.

I confirm that SHIFT alone doesn't work, but SHIFT+F1 pressed before 
booting up the system indeed shows the GRUB menu.

May I ask if you have more details on why SHIFT alone doesn't work?

Is there another button that would work alone?

Best.
