We have a site that users press function keys to navigate to different screens.

Does version 65.0 stop the function keys from working within the browser?

I have read that non-Printable keys no longer fire keypress Event as of v65 and would like clarification that this is what is stopping the function keys working within the browser.

Many thanks

Neil

Most times the Keyboard keys assignment is handled by the O/S not by the Browser first. Otherwise you have to see if the site allows reconfiguration of the keys to match their site when logged in.
