That’s bullshit. F13-F36 should be reserved for user macros and remain unused by default in user applications.
I thought I was somewhat of a power user, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of there being function keys beyond F12 :C
Never used an iSeries I see

It’s beautiful
That’s the point. The new copilot key emulates shift+win+f23 because they expect that nobody is using f23
