F8 - de facto standart for boot menu.
Replying to [comment:15 stippi]:
> Sounds to me like it would be a solution not to use as many keys as we
can think of. The shift and space key alone to enter the boot menu should
be enough. I don't think this can conflict with anything else.
Holding Shift have side effect with GRUB. Do not hold Shift before GRUB
menu. Start holding Shift only after GRUB menu will be on screen!
