#383 assigned defect
F9 hotkey does not switch the navigation pane on/off

Description
If you try to turn on/off the navigation panel of the application window using the F9 key as listed in the manual, nothing happens. The corresponding application menu item works as expected using either the keyboard or mouse. F5 and F11, as listed under the same menu, seem to work.
This is Lucide 1.5.0 on a freshly installed AOS 5.0.5.1/en -- quickly tested on a couple other systems, same result.

Dropped the ball on this, sorry. Turns out something else was grabbing F9, sort of.
'Freshly installed' above actually meant 'quickly configured without thinking', and I do tend to set F9 as a WPS shortcut to display context menus -- Win menu does not always work, I avoid mice if possible, and F9 matches other environments...
So, when the document pane has focus a context menu does appear as configured in the system, but when the document pane has focus F9 turns it off (or it turns itself off because it has no context menu to display?). As for what exactly had focus when I reported this for nothing to happen, go figure. Maybe something in the toolbar?
Anyway, if this (and possibly other keys -- F5 is refresh in the WPS and presentation mode here? another conflict waiting to occur?) were configurable (just like it is in the WPS itself), it would be extremely easy to avoid causing such seeming inconsistency in the first place, or getting out of it.
I can't replicate this failure here with 1.5.0 GA. What keyboard layout are you using, and could anything else be grabbing F9?
