tl;dr I suggest a confirmation box for F12 closing Minecraft. (Option to turn off the confirm box to be fair to those who like it)
I do not proclaim myself a seasoned Minecraft player, however, I do believe I strike a valid argument. I don't blame anyone for what I'm about to say besides myself. Earlier today I was on single-player in 1.3 beta (non-browser). I bought FRAPS months ago for my FPS games and various others I play, and was using it during my Minecraft session. In the past few years since I have been PC gaming nearly every recording program uses the F12 key to take a screenshot. Lo and behold I decided to take a picture of my masterpiece after a few hours hard work ( note I hadn't saved ) with FRAPS. Of course I have F12 as my screenshot button, like every other game I've played. I had no idea that the F12 key magically makes your minecraft CLOSE without warning or confirmation. I bet you can imagine my face when I came back to my "masterpiece" backtracked a few hours of diligent work.
I'm suggesting that the F12 functionality be altered to prevent this from happening to others. Such as toggling off the F12 functionality, or applying a confirmation box.
