holding shift key down does not reveal GRUB menu (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1880169
I'm not sure when this regression appeared. It was working with F32 VM's and I think also with some earlier F33 VMs.
Anyway, right now it's not working for me with either virt-manager or baremetal (sample size of one each).
What about quickly pressing F8? On my baremetal, Shift doesn't work either. But as I remember, many BIOSes simply ignore keys which are pressed down during initialization, to prevent "stuck keys". That's why there are two different key options to display GRUB.
Using virt-manager, F8 increases the sound on my laptop. For whatever reason it never passes through to the VM only. And two of three computers F8 is reserved for the firmware.
