I propose the following > syntaxes (I'm waiting for your suggestions which to use): 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? > entry "SuSE 7.3 (2.4.29)":l > { > root (hd0,2) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=extended rootflags=data=journal > } 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.
