'cause they (function keys) are nonnutritive, and definitely should not
have a place at the table in the 2020's.
You should see the looks I get teaching someone they have to hit F1 or
F2 to edit characters, since they do know that F1 is supposed to bring
up a Help screen in all the other programs they have ever used, it (F1
to insert) breaks convention. Or rather the convention left it in the dust.
Since we can remap keys, we really should have applications use normal
conventions. I'm guilty of not doing this, and setting up nice keyboard
controls that make sense to the end user. So shame on me.
