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.

Well, technically with your consent.

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?
