Ctrl-F in Normal mode is an alias for PgDn (see :help CTRL-F); in
Insert mode it is used by defaut in C indenting to reindent the
current line (see :help i_CTRL-F); in Command-line mode it is used by
default to open the command-line window (see :help c_CTRL-F).

As {lhs} for mappings in any mode, I recommend Fn and Shift-Fn, except
F1 which means Help. For instance, Ctrl-] is hard to find on my
Belgian keyboard (it requires the AltGr-Ctrl-$ chord which is awkward)
so I put the following in my vimrc:
:map <F9> <C-]>
:map! <F9> <C-]>
This allows me to follow help tags and trigger abbreviations more
easily than with that 3-key chord.

Best regards,
Tony.
