You can enter any substring of the title as the default_selection, so long as it's two or more characters in length. It's best to use a unique substring, since rEFInd stops searching when it finds the first match. Because rEFInd sorts entries within a directory in descending order by file modification time, if you specify a directory (or volume name, for loaders in a partition's root directory) as the default_selection, the most recent loader in that directory will be the default. One-character entries are matched against the first character of the title, except for digits, which refer to the numeric order of the boot loader entries. If you specify a comma-delimited list of names in quotation marks, rEFInd will search on these in turn until it finds a match. For instance, default_selection "alpha,beta" will launch alpha if it's available, and beta if alpha is not available but beta is. You may optionally follow the match string by two times, in 24-hour format, in which case the entry applies only between those two times. For instance, default_selection Safety 1:30 2:30 boots the entry called Safety by default between the hours of 1:30 and 2:30. These times are specified in whatever format the motherboard clock uses (local time or UTC). If the first value is larger than the second, as in 23:00 1:00, it is interpreted as crossing midnight—11:00 PM to 1:00 AM in this example. The last default_selection setting takes precedence over preceding ones if the time value matches. Thus, you can set a main default_selection without a time specification and then set one or more others to override the main setting at specific times. + Sets the default boot OS based on the loader's title, which appears in the main menu beneath the icons when you select the loader.
