Microsoft begs you to stop using Internet Explorer
In a blog post, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson said continuing to use Internet Explorer is racking up companies a ton of "technical debt." Essentially, by continuing to use IE, organizations are creating additional costs down the line by selecting the easiest, most convenient solution now rather than the approach that is best for the long term. Jackson laid out a scenario in which a company, choosing the easiest possible route since Internet Explorer 6, goes to make a webpage today and ends up using a 1999 implementation of web standards by default.

There isn't one. Modern computers don't emulate key presses anymore. Instead, the OS maps the sequence to the current code page, or it can be overridden by the target program (which is how Word has the same well-known sequences regardless of code page). The problem is that F12 doesn't exist as a sequence in the code page, and cannot be access by number.
