There are two entirely different places that keys are detected.
One is this "Boot mode detect" that takes 10 seconds.
The other is before this and doesn't slow anything down.

The four arrow keys (on a keyboard into the UART of the Leaf2) give four modes even before we get to that "Boot mode detect".

The "up arrow" held solid (on auto repeat) without any special technique will get you to fastboot.
The "down arrow" held solid (on auto repeat) without any special technique will get you to EDL.

Edit: Hmmm... I kept trying this and the results were variable.
In any case, all 4 arrow cases always cause the "Key Press" early in the boot to react.
"Arrow right" might force it to normal boot?
