Windows 10: F9 key strips coding from page?

I accidentally hit F9 instead of F11 and it stripped all the HTML off the site, pretty much doing what the Outline.com site does. I tried to see if it would bypass firewalls, and it worked on LA Times, but not on NY Times (darn!).

What is going on? I thought F9 only worked with Word. I tried searching, but couldn't find this function key listed anywhere as doing this. Could it be attached to an add-on I have to block HTML5?

I'm still on v. 1903 and am using a USB keyboard on my laptop, but it does the same on the laptop.

F9 key not working

Thank you for your reply, Gina. Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem. I found tried this fix yesterday, after reading about it somewhere. When I go to "Mouse & touchpad" the only adjustment I find is to change the length of delay. No matter if I
set it for "long delay" or "no delay" there is no change in the actions of the pad and cursor--it still jumps around with annoying frequency.

I would love to find an option to disable the track pad entirely. If I can't do it with the F9 key, then I would like to do it some other way.

Thanks for any follow-up information.
