In that case you just should not press that key. :)

There is only the problem of key collisions (c is used for the
console, for example).  Perhaps 0-9, c-a and c-z can be used or so, I
personally don't care too much about this.

But it would be nice, IMHO, if it was clear which entry has which
hotkey.  Perhaps the title can be followed by the key in some
different color or so?

Personally I would prefer something like:

entry "SuSE 7.3 (2.4.29)" key="1"
{
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=extended rootflags=data=journal
}

Or we could just give *every* menu item a hotkey and make it
configurable to make it visual (like I described above) or not.

Thanks,
