Yah, i need that rarely and each device uses quite different keys, so this works for me as well

Almost

Not like that
But rapid presses of the fn keys

Show threadrockpickMar 20
@itsfoss that is the only reliable way. Everything else is madness

Show threadmikeTesteLinuxQlubMar 20

@itsfoss 😂 Pure madness who work I guess, depending of the key registered at the right moment.

I'm more hammering a key guy, my F12 ke can testify of this 🤣

Show threadBack To AnalogMar 20

@itsfoss

Yes. I always do something like that.

Show threadMichaelMar 20
@itsfoss yes but only if f12 doesn't work on first try
Show threadIt's FOSSMar 23
@kratzen_blue understandable 😅
Show threadRDRushMar 20
@itsfoss uhh...
yeah...
I immediately knew it was BIOS. ;-)
Show threadHowitzer105mmMar 20
@itsfoss I only started doing the boot time function key slide after seeing a video of someone doing the boot time function key slide. It's a bit of a crap shoot as to what boot time agent responds.
Show threadMrGrumpyMonkeyMar 20
@itsfoss I just used the Pause/Break key. 
Show threadquixoteMar 21

@itsfoss Nope. Been running Linux since I was a small child in a sailor suit. (Not really. Early 2000s. But it feels long ago.)

Is this a way to skip the asinine Windows hardware checking or something? (I know it's BIOS, but my BIOS screen looks a bit different, so I'm guessing it's some Windows modification?)
