No F Key Boot Menu

[Linux for blind general discussion]

My bios:
Board: EVGA INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD 131-HE-E995 1.0
UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. 2.08 06/28/2019
does not seem to have a function whereby you can select a device to boot from using one of the function keys. Instead, one must physically go into the bios and change boot order, if, for example, you wish to boot from a flash drive to install an OS. And if that flash drive is subsequently removed, the system will not boot, until you go into the bios and change the boot order, again.
My question: is this normal bios behavior these days, or is something wrong in my particular implementation. I turned off the secure boot function in there. Would turning that on fix this? What else might I look for in the bios to either (a) allow for falling back on different devices should one be removed or (b) to allow the function key boot menu found in previous bios implementations.
