Add user-defined hotkeys

[steve6375]

I would like to add user-defined hotkeys into the agFM menu system.

For instance F8 to reload agFM and config file F9 to reboot F10 to Power off

so it works in the main agFM File Manager menu.

e.g. add a hiddentry with a --hotkey defined ?

How can I do this?

not supported.

Could you not add a

source (${user})/boot/grubfg/config_fm

line to the main grubfm menu ?

One main issue if that if a user selects a file which does not boot correctly - the theme is lost and the menu is shown in text mode.

It would be nice to have a hotkey which would reload the main file (grubfmx64.efi or bootiax64.efi or grubfm.iso) - e.g. F8 same as in Easy2Boot. Also add other hiddenmenu entries using the config_fm file too.

if a user selects a file which does not boot correctly - the theme is lost and the menu is shown in text mode.

and then you should reboot to boot another file.otherwise will cause memory leak.

but quicker to just reload grub2 and try that first. Some systems (servers) take many minutes to reboot.

may not boot correctly.

It also might boot correctly and save having to reboot and wait 3 minutes for POST on a server.... ;-)

Why not press [F4] and [R]?

Sometimes works - but how is the user to know? An F8 hotkey to 'reload' menu system would be useful? maybe chainloader (memdisk)/boot/grubfm/init.sh ??? or facility for user to add a config_fm file so it is up to the user to add hotkeys using hiddenentry menu ?

no.I won't add support for user-defined hotkeys.
