Comment:

 Mitch, what do you think of this change?  Caution is warranted because it
 is a change to the secure boot path.

 I've tested it here with a secure laptop.  Two downsides:
  * the ''visible'' causes the signed boot search to appear,
  * the escape is consumed, requiring two escapes when a developer key is
 present, but that could be fixed using ''pending-char'' instead of
 ''key''.
