Does either grub2 or syslinux allow for single-key booting?

(For example, if in lilo.conf I have the command "single-key" near the
beginning of the file, "alias=w" in the stanza for Windows, and no labels
begin with w or W, then at boot time the single key "w" will cause lilo to
start booting Windows.)
