F12 does not open DevTools on Windows 7

I've been trying version 1.1.0 of electron-debug with version 1.4.13 of Electron, and hitting F12 in the packaged app on Windows 7 seems to do nothing. Ctrl-shift-I and the other shortcuts work, but not F12. F12 does, however, work on macOS.

I'm wondering if the F12 shortcut is more tightly coupled to the Electron shell in Windows compared to Mac, and so it's interfering with the key handling.

There is a $30.00 open bounty on this issue. Add more on Issuehunt.

None of the keybindings seem to work on Linux either.

$ lsb_release -ai
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu (Hmm... actually this is a Kubuntu)
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

$ node --version
v7.4.0

$ grep electron package.json | tail -n 1
"electron": "1.4.4"

I can't get anything to work 😞
I am using Linux but also using Oracle's VMBox to run Window 7 Pro inside.
When I build an exe for Windows none of the key shortcuts work, not even F12
