Today on 20.04 if one wants to reach the hidden grub2 menu , it's harder than hercule's work

- Hit ESC at Boot

- Pray that you don't hit ESC one time too much or you will get the > Bash Prompt and cannot do anything

Solution : We would need to change Grub2 so the user don't get a grub prompt. Like "maintain ALT KEY to show grub menu"

You can press any key, the common suggestion is to press the Shift key.

Changed in grub2 (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid

Hitting any key but ESC does not show the Grub menu , where did you see that ?

In my experience this is the problem since we use UEFI OS

Sorry it's not any key but shift specifically.

That's how I enter the grub menu because yes, Esc gets you to the shell (not bash, grub shell) and you have to execute |normal` again.
