But still there, in some form across all OS's.


I've no idea what F1 is supposed to be for, but I can tell you that my
OS has no equivalent to Start or CTRL-Alt-Del.

F1 is the Windows standard way to open the Help menu in an application,
and has been since Windows 3, if not before.

CTRL-Alt-Del works on Windows, DOS and used to work on Linux until they
started trapping it and ignoring it in the GUI. The last time I tried
it, it still worked in a text terminal under X. I assume there's an
equivalent on Apple machines.
