you can skip the entry screen like this:
grass5 /path_to_grassdatabase/location/mapset
But: All interactive modules require the ESC key. Maybe we should
add an environmental variable:
GRASS_REMAP_ESC_KEY
to allow for easy key remapping? I don't know if that is easy
to implement. What do the other developers say?
