I've never intentionally used F1 key to open help before

Annoying when you accidentally hit it instead of ESC in certain Windows programs, loading Microsoft's windows help website in your browser without your consent.

On Linux it usually does nothing, as it should.

Even worse when it does it in Edge

Doesnt it in gnome gtk and KDE open the "about" page with a help button somewhere on it?

I actually have, in some older software F1 was basically an included digital copy of the manual and was great to have to find an obscure setting or feature.

That's why I remapped it to toggle my notes app
