Text Properties are not part of Properties Palette anymore.
Check Windows > Text Properties.

Then it is essential to have a function-key for it (as a suggestion)

Unresolving and renaming the ticket to reflect the problem.

Which function key should we assign by default?

Currently if you like a function key you can assign it in:
File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > search for "Text Properties".

F3, currently reserved for Styles.

Styles should use F4.

@FirasH
My english is too bad to express my idea, and who am i to make an advice?

No matter, what you will create in function-keys, I will learn them and use them. After a while i find it ok to extract the text properties into an extra menue.

If you like, here a some thoughts of mine
The actual assigned keys seem to be a little bit at random f2, f3, f6
Why not organize in a order a little like

f2 f3 f4 f5
----------- ---- ------------------------------------- -----
Master-Page text table picture graphic elements layer
                |
                paragraph
                font

please do not disturb about my cheeky ideas.

I appreciate your feedback (and we need more!).
As a user involded in development I tend to adapt to things and get used to them. For this reason some things appear straightforward to me but are not for normal users.

Changing default function keys is very easy, the problems are:
1) Does that work for all operating systems (macOS, etc.)?
2) Current palettes are not definitive, more splitting will probably happen.

perhaps you can consider making groups and rules for keys so you get a framework with open places to insert later additions.
Overlaps in other OS could be evtl. reduced by a second key (perhaps for a subkey?)
Or what about something like mouse-gestures? I don't know enough. .. a very small bar at the side with coloured sections?
But important: things should similar to known practice (excample: I cannot work with krita, things there are completely unaccustomed to me)
You will do the right with your better experiance.

Thanks cbradney!
Fixed in 1.5.3.svn (r21734).

Now F3 is assigned to Text Properties and F4 to Style Manager.
