No additional scripting, I'm relying on the built-in 
hold-down-game-keys-for-signed-build-reflash to select the behaviour.

If you're talking about the read < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 I haven't 
changed it. It usually doesn't work. When it doesn't work, after 
pressing enter once, every second key-press is passed to the shell, 
until you press enter again and then it shuts down.

Attached. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the way I'm inserting the 
keyboard as I'm not following all the recommendations on the various 
keyboard related pages.
