It could also just be buggy firmware. I had an HP 4530s and anytime I quickly typed the sequence “oun”, the chrome developer tools would pop open (something low level was translating that sequence into F12).
Turns out this was a known issue and there was a bios update which specifically fixed it. https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/f-keys-activate-from-typing-please-help.260862/ https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/f-keys-activate-from-ty...
- fancyfredbot 4y agoI guess the BIOS is responsible for handling the conversion of some key sequences into extended ASCII, so plausible it could be buggy in this way (but not so plausible for the OP issue). The link doesn't seem to mention a BIOS update or acknowledge it as a known BIOS issue though?
