Just remember, if you are trying to start in Safe Mode, you will have to hit
the F-Lock key and the F8 key in rapid succession. The F-lock isn't active
until about the time that F8 is no longer active for starting in Safe Mode.
In my opinion there should be a key that would always perform the Safe Mode
entrance.
