>From gcmd doc files:
F1 Help
F2 Refresh files in the active file list
F3 View files
F4 Edit files
F5 Copy files
F6 Rename or move files
F7 Create directory
F8 Delete files
F9 Search
F10 Quit
Total Commander provides the same F1..F8 operations - with the exception
of F2, which is used for reread the current file list.

There is a kind of standard - see
http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/Paradigm/index.shtml (ch. 8 and ch. 9)
According to the above document:
F1 should not only invoke hypertext help, it should invoke help
on any item of the toolbar and any item of tool bar menus. The
help should be context sensitive: if some dialog is opened the
help should be about this particular dialog, not the general
help tree.
F2 user menu or equivalent (start menu). Should provide the
possibility to run user shell scripts with substitution of macro
variables from the panels. Each item of the menu should be
activated by its own letter (hotkey). Format of the macro
variable is not defined in this standard but following Midnight
Commander conventions is recommended.
F3 should invoke built-in viewer or (in GOFM only) default
viewer
F4 should invoke built-in editor or (in GOFM only) default
editor
F5 should copy/move subtrees if applied to directories
F6 should be able to move subtrees
F7 should create directories
F8 should delete files or directory subtree if applied to the
directory with non-empty subdirectories
The Conclusion (TM) - IMHO Micha is right about F2 meaning. It simply
should have the meaning we know from NC or MC - context menu. Using F2
as refreshing shortcut is not obvious... and we still have CTRL+R for
that purpose which is compliant with Total Commander, Firefox, IE and
many others. What about assigning 'user (context) menus' to F2?
