Hi Edge developers,
I found a little bit weird behaviour of Edge, not sure whether it's intentional or not. Anyway I'd like to report it.
My Environment:
Summary
The confirmation dialog of Caret Browsing is shown when I typed F7 key even while I'm typing Japanese text.
I think it shouldn't be shown because F7 key is also used by Apple's official Japanese input method.
Reproduction
0. Add "Japanese" as an input source of your keyboard from System Preferences ▶︎ Keyboard ▶︎ "Input Sources" tab
1. Open Edge
2. Select "Hiragana" for your current input source and type "a" on the address bar
- then you'd see "あ"
2. Type F7 key
Result I expected
After typing F7 key, "あ” should be changed to "ア" by Japanese input method.
(it's converted to Katakana (ア) from Hiragana (あ).)
Actual behaviour
The confirmation dialog for enabling Caret Browsing was shown.
Other
Personally, I like Firefox's way so I hope Edge will also follow it.
Thanks.

@mshibanami Welcome to the Microsoft Insiders community!
Wow, thank you for that remarkably detailed feedback! If you haven't yet, can you please submit all of that feedback through the browser, along with diagnostic data, so that our devs can directly look into this? I want to make sure this gets to the right people.

I have a same problem here.
I've just sent feedback from "Edge Feedback" with diagnostic data.
F7 key is used for "Hiragana" to "Katakana" conversion on Japanese IME. We Japanese expect pressing F7 key while entering some Hiragana should convert to Katakana.
Thanks.

Sorry I missed your suggestion, @Deleted. Since this problem is still happening on my environment, I've just sent the feedback including the URL of here via Edge. Thanks.
