You didn't test it in the runtime. It works fine for me.
Build an exe and run that exe from Windows Explorer to test.
F2 is pre-assigned ONLY IN THE IDE. No matter what you do, by the time you
get around to doing it the keystroke has already been assigned IN THE IDE.
That assignment doesn't happen in runtime.
