OK, first F6 is a *very bad* key for that! Try M-q
which is the default keystroke for `fill-paragraph'.
Second, your code should work what I can see!
Try starting Emacs like this:
$ emacs -Q
Then find your init file and evaluate only this part:
(global-set-key [f6] #'fill-paragraph)
Last, hit F6. Still no luck?
Also, you do this in X, right? Either in a terminal
emulator (e.g., xterm) with -nw or the GUI Emacs
(normal invocation these days) and F6 should be fine.
In a Linux VT tho without special attention F6 doesn't
work. And the reason it hasn't received such attention
is, again, it is a bad key (too distant: out of hand
touch type position).
