Works in most softwares. Also F1 often opens a help menu/manual (although those are usually kinda useless IMHO lol)

F3 lets you edit an Excel cell without using your damned mouse on Windows. So handy, I added the shortcut to my non-Windows setup.

On the topic of Excel, it's one of the few programs where the scroll lock key does something. It allows you to switch between moving the cell selection and scrolling with the arrow keys

I miss real keyboards for the numberpad and the Home and End and the Pages Up and Down. Plus all the satisfying noise they made. Had no idea I needed this, too.

Look into mechanical keyboards. They aren't cheap but there have been serious improvements and you get all the real keyboard features you want. Plus clickyclicky.
