Agreed.

Some keyboard come with dedicated volume +/-/mute keys which is great and frees up function keys.

I have "screenshotting" as a frequent need -- which in some occassions is an urgent one too :)

I use 3 different types of screen capture (current window, select a region, repeat last region) mapped to F6 F7 F8 on all my machines now which gets a lot of use.

I use sharex and screenshot and region snip a lot. I have it override the screenshot key and then just ctrl and shift for region. Screen. And current windows modifications.

F keys are in my opinion better used elsewhere when you can override screenshot key for screenshots.

I know lots of apps that use those F keys you've overriden.
