Hide bootloader UI on Dualboot

I want to be able to boot into multiple operating systems, so I am currently using grub as my bootloader.
But grub (and all other options I found) rely on some kind of UI for choosing the OS to boot.
Given that faster and faster booting with SSDs and so on are all the rage right now,
I want to skip the menu and rather use a keyboard shortcut for selecting the OS, like:



[on] for Ubuntu

[on] + [f1 key held] for Windows

[on] + [f2 key held] for Ubuntu in recovery mode

...



Or, possibly

[on] to boot a standard system

[on] + [some key] to enter the standard graphical selection



Is there some bootloader or some workaround/configuration that is capable of achieving that?

  • You can set wait timeout to zero in grub.cfg, then you have to press shift during boot for the selection menu. If you don't touch any key then ubuntu will start instantly.
