Many apps do not like FakeKeyPress, so it is probably not an appropriate way to try to 'escape' a keybinding, since many apps will just ignore fake events anyways. The options already listed in this thread are most likely the better approaches. 1) Write a custom function that turns keybindings on/off, then you can use that to escape the binding by turning it off, then you can run the function again to turn it back on. 2) Use a modifier on the key bindings, so F1 isn't a key binding anymore, this way F1 can pass to the applications just fine. jaimos
