If only keyboards would have function keys for this purpose, named F1 to F10 for example, so any program could use them for their specific functions...

Maybe even F13 to F24 if more is needed?
Because they used to exist, and support for them still does. Really handy for macro keys.

Here's an idea... what if we had every key do all kinds of weird shit?

I'd like them to leave F13 onwards alone, purely because it's nice that they'll only ever do what I want them to do
