WHO gave you the instruction that a keyword needs to be highlighted for the F1 help? Where is that written down in the Wiki?
F1 always was, and is, and hopefully will ever remain: "Help for keyword under cursor"
So what happens with your TAB(10)?
Doesn't matter if you use the keyboard or the mouse to highlight the word TAB, after that the open paranthesis is under the cursor, and now you press F1... Do we have a help page for the paranthesis? Do we even need one for it?
QB64(pe) does very well know about its own keywords and its delimiters (such as paranthesis and all kinds of operators), that's why its able to do automatic code formatting and keyword casing, you don't need to go "Oh boy, here's the keyword I mean, did highlight it for you".
Highligting is something you do for copy'n'paste operations, or to apply special properties to, like here in the forum eg. highligting text and than apply the bold style to it.
From the info I've gleaned from using this forum, f1 was a legit way to get help on keywords. Now I know differently, but I think it needs to be made clearer.
