If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.
OC, feel free to share.
EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

F9-F12 are useful when you're debugging code in Visual Studio.
I sometimes use F6 to jump to my browser's address bar.
Can't imagine any uses for F7 or F8 though. And all the times I've opened a help screen with F1 have been on accident.
My main gripe with function keys on laptops is they're tiny and easy to mix up, especially since they have large brightness, volume, etc. icons on them while the function key number is a tiny label that's barely visible.
FYI, you can also use CTRL+L instead of F6 in Most Browsers, easier to reach than F6
Yes, but removing the focus from the address bar is only doable through F6 in Firefox. Whyyyy can't I do it through ESC??
ESC works for me
Which platform? The focus is kept on MacOS for me.
Linux
Not working for me on my Manjaro install either.
Wayland?
