Description
This is already the only way to enter it on uefi. Supporting it on bios too would allow for documenting just spacebar mashing as method to enter the bootloader options.

This is already supported, as can be seen in https://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/system/boot/platform/bios_ia32/keyboard.cpp#n69
The reason the shift key is documented as the preferred method for BIOS systems is because it is more reliable: you don't need to press it repeatedly to be sure it will be in the keyboard buffer at the time of the check, you can simply hold it down.
