MicrosoftTurn off F12 opening DevTools with new Edge setting
Hello Insiders! We've heard a lot of feedback in the Microsoft Edge DevTools from customers who accidentally press F12 and didn't intend to launch or use the DevTools. To help solve this proble...
As someone who uses F12 daily, I believe this is a fantastic toggle: I'll be turning F12 off immediately.
I hit it all the time when I'm meaning to full-screen or grab a screenshot.

- If you use F12 daily, shouldn't you be accustomed to using it so mistaking it for F11 should be few and far between. I press it by touch from memory (muscle) memory at this point. I they chose to change the short cut to dev tools that's ok. I fail to see any confusion or problem associate with the use of this key press in Edge. Why change it? Is pressing any key by mistake enough reason to change its behavior? Often when typing, JS, I press the "-" key instead of the ")" key, it's my mistake, Microsoft doesn't have to deal with that. F11 is a Full Screen toggle, I hope someone doesn't press that key by mistake.
