F2 function key is already assigned to Find and Replace. I want to also assign that action to F1 How?

Thank you, appreciated.
 
I think you are in the wrong forum. You might do better in a forum related to the software you are using.
 
The F1 function key in most apps is already assigned to 'Help' so you would need to remap it.

Also, laptops behave differently to desktops... most laptops already have key mappings built-in for the function keys, linked to the Fn modifier key.
 
You may can look at AutoHotkey or similar software if you mean to use it across your computer, regardless of program. However, while many programs are open, the application in focus will likely take over the F1 functionality since it's been used since that key existed, it seems, for "help" for any or almost any program.

AutoHotkey:

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57
