I only ever press F8/volume+ key without pressing Fn key too. When I use Fn+F8 so far I'm consistently getting a grub menu (this is virt-manager). >> For whatever >> reason it never passes through to the VM only.

They seem to accept F8 key alone or in combination with Fn key as F8. So if F8 key is pressed, for sure the firmware menu comes up. So shift needs to work for grub - or something. Spacebar. Tab. Anything. But this is why I gave up on menu autohide a long time ago and just unset autohide on baremetal machines. > > Stephen says you can hit any key to make GRUB show, I couldn't verify that yet. I'm beginning to think it depends on specific combinations of things... including the phase of the moon. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
