Minkowski syntax?

In the cheat sheet overview that I get via Help > Cheat Sheet
https://openscad.org/cheatsheet/index.html?version=2021.01
I read: minkowski(convexity)

But using <Shift + F1> I get:
minkowski()

That latter is consistent with all the example I see, both in the user manual
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Transformations#minkowski
and elsewhere.

Has the syntax changed recently?

No... what's changed is that the documentation has started to show an
argument that's always been there.  Not all of the documentation has
been updated.  Looks like the tooltip was updated in February 2020.

I don't know Shift+F1; it doesn't do anything for me and I don't find
any reference in the documentation.
