      Function keys have well-established meanings in browsers:

      • F1: Help
      • F3: Find Next (Shift+F3 Find Previous)
      • F4 (some browsers and platforms): Address bar
      • F5: Refresh (Ctrl+F5 Refresh invalidating cache)
      • F6: Cycle through the address bar, then each frame in the page (Shift+F6 cycle backward)
      • F7 (Firefox): Turn on caret so that text can be highlighted for copying using keyboard
      • F10: Open browser menu
      • F11: Full screen
      • F12: Developer tools

      Crucible assigns its own functions to some of these keys:

      • F1: Previous comment?
      • F3: Reply to parent comment?
      • F6: Go to next unreviewed file?
      • F10: Go to next unreviewed file?

      This is highly unexpected, confusing (I lose my position in the review) and disrupting (I inadvertently mark a file as reviewed when I have not actually reviewed it). Please remove these shortcuts and never hijack browser-assigned shortcuts again.
