Details:

Hello everyone,

if one uses a tablet/phablet that only has a touchscreen as input, there's no
way to either select the OS to be booted or to unlock a fully encrypted
system.

Because there are many discussions about Grub and Touchscreen support in other
distribution support communities, this should bug should be a tracking bug to
discuss and implement possible solutions.

I already have seen Grub modifications to use the volume hardware keys as
input as BIOS vendor UEFI adjustments to display a full onscreen keyboard
usable via the touchscreen.
