iPXE's built in menu system ("tooltip/statusbar" text on the bottom for selections)

[Torgeir]

Hi!

Just another question
I was wondering if it would be possible to add an feature like "tooltip" text, or perhaps more describing an "statusbar" text. Which changes when you change an menu item.

It looks so nasty, when I have it like this (and more than 1-2 items)
Makes it hard to read the "tooltip" info:

Code:

item testing Testing (this is just for testing)
item production Production (this is for production)
item info This is just some info

If it instead would pop up on the bottom of the screen it would look cleaner, more appealing. If you know what I mean.

Just a suggestion.

That would be good; the problem is that iPXE has no concept of shell quoting, and hence no way to specify multiple free-text string arguments to the "item" command.
