I've basically never used the F-keys. Are you using them in an IDE?

Most (all?) GUI debuggers either in IDEs or browser dev tools use F-keys to step through code.

Fair. I'm pretty click oriented in IntelliJ IDEA, and chrome devtools. I guess if I used IntelliJ more, I'd learn the F-key shortcuts, but I have an external keyboard for most typing, so I still wouldn't miss them on the laptop keyboard... and if I did, I'd just map some virtual buttons. Debugging is slow and deliberate for me, I don't need to touch type for that(personally).
