This is text only list; images are discarded.  If you run IDLE, select 
Options => Preferences => Keys and scroll down to 'run-module', it will 
will say <Key-F5> for a built-in keyset until you have changed 
idlelib/config-keys.def and should say <Key-F5> for custom key sets 
until you changed it, in which case, you should be able to change it back.

If it says F5, which is perhaps what you meant above, and F5 does not 
work, then you might have changed your keyboard, outside of IDLE, so 
that it does not generate the expected keycode.

Have you rebooted?
