Should one come to the view that that PipeDream's use of the F8 key is
something of a hazard in that it does not confirm to the RISC OS Style Guide
and do an 'undo' operation but it deletes a row.

As I understand it this line in the "key" file should clear the key, but it
doesn't.

\Cdf|i "F8" |i "" |m

I have even consulted the manual!

I am pressing F1 then, for help that is.

Hi David

As you may have deduced, setting an empty string just resets the
function key to its original definition.

I could suggest setting \Cx |m as the command (Escape) as that's the
nearest PipeDream has to a NO-OP.

Sadly Undo/Redo functionality doesn't fit PipeDream's model.

Cheers

Stuart
