Neither would I, because in Vim like in most other programs, F1 brings
you to the first page of help.
Gena: What's wrong with Ctrl-R n (in Insert mode) or "np (in Normal
mode)? Or if you're dead set on using only one keystroke, any F key
other than F1 (Help) and F10 (Menu) or any Shift-F key, would IMHO be
better than F1.
Best regards,
Tony.
