True in general, but not in this specific use case : When you want to
look up a symbol, you frequently use the mouse to point to the symbol,
and then your hand has to abandon the mouse, usually to the right of
the keyboard, to move all the way to the F2 key, which happen to be on
the upper left part of the keyboard.

Would be much faster to use the currently unused 4th button, and the
5th to go back to the original place.

In any case, I certainly do not suggest this as a replacement for the
F2 key, but as an additional convenience to achieve the same effect,
for those who do use the mouse.
