This was a recent change.  
Plex is pushing the Plex HTPC app as remotely controllable target.

According to the shortcuts listed in the app this is still working (using `f` or `\`). At least that’s still working for the Plex desktop app on macOS. I think `F11` is using a native functionality of the operating system (Windows) – I don’t think Plex has any influence on that.
