      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.

      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.
