I think we shouldn't be making changes at this point in the cycle,
unless we are fixing serious bugs.
Of the ones you listed below, it seems like only the first one is at
risk of causing a real problem for an end user. The counter argument to
changing it at this stage is that we haven't seen anyone do this in
practice.
I'd lean towards "do nothing" -- minimize the code changes at this point.
Cheers,
Katie

Out of the box Chandler ships with the following scripts that are
triggered by function keys, and I think we should take a quick pass at
which ones to remove:
'F1 - Create a new script' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/New Script
Running this one creates a Script item in the repo but doesn't
expose it to the user anywhere, so repeated pressing will fill up the
repo with garbage.
'F2 - Block under cursor' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/Block Inspector
This prints to stdout the name and UUID of the CPIA block under the
mouse cursor.
'F3 - Item selected' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/Item Inspector
This one always prints "None" to stdout.
'F4 - Browse selected item' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/Browse Selected
My favorite: launches the web browser to display details about
selected item.
'F5 - Paste new item' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/Paste New Item
I could have sworn I saw this work recently, but when I try it now,
nothing happens.
'F6 - Print selected item to stdout' (Script) //parcels/osaf/app/Print
Selected to stdout
This calls Item.printItem( ) for the currently selected item,
displaying all attributes to stdout.
I wouldn't mind losing all of these except for F4 which I use
constantly, and I think for support purposes we will likely ask end
users to use F4 to provide us debugging info. I imagine that other
devs use F2 ? Should we remove any of these, and/or bind them to
different function keys?
