Can't think of anything more confusing for a user who's trying to
rename their file, hit the wrong key and have the window completely
vanish - either because it's minimised or closed. Similarly, someone
wants to go full-screen, hits F12 by accident and boom! It looks like
they've turned their laptop/PC off. I can hear the howls of anguish
already.
I hit F1 by accident when renaming far too often already - I'd rather
not have any more such grief in my life.
A thorough revamp of shortcuts is probably in order (I have to turn
off screen overlay in Unity because it pops up when I use the zoom
plug-in with Super-mousewheel up/down), but adding more arbitrary
function key mappings doesn't sounds like a great idea to me.

(Seriously ? After the disclaimer about F12 ?)
Probably valid points about the accidental clicks , but I stand by my
point that the F keys should have functions attached . We should think
about the potential accidental clicks , but these keys are manufactured
away from the others with big numbered "F"-s on them for a reason .
I realize that F3 and F4 , are probably not the best solutions (for
minimize , close) , more so that after some testing I still find myself
clicking alt+F4,instead of F4 . But still I have to say - I've never
clicked an F-key by accident (and I am as sloppy as the next guy ) .
