Suggestions for the bootloader menu

[dankcuddlybear]

1. When TIMEOUT=0, the default entry is booted immediately, and I am unable to access the menu. Make it so that the default entry still boots immediately, but the menu appears if a key is held when Limine is loaded, allowing you to choose a boot option.
2. Remove loading messages when loading initramfs/kernel: "Loading boot:///initramfs-linux.img" "Loading boot:///vmlinuz-linux.img" as it looks nicer without these messages
3. Remember previously booted entry

I suggest have 1 let you hold the key regardless of the timeout, like how some firmwares let you open the firmware settings by just holding F12/Del/etc instead of spamming it.
I suggest have 2 only when the QUIET=yes option is set.

+1 on "remember previous booted entry"
This is the one feature from grub that I miss. For future historians, in grub you can define GRUB_DEFAULT=saved, and the behavior will essentially set the default entry upon booting. As a proposal for how one could configure this in liming, I believe setting DEFAULT_ENTRY=-1 could potentially serve the purpose.

Just started using this bootloader on an old laptop and couldn't be bothered with GRUB. Really like it. Point 1 about being able to access the menu when a certain key (suggest ESC or F8) is pressed would be very useful. Its nice to have no timeout to boot the default option but have a way of booting alternative options to debug for example if the main boot option won't work (kernel update).
