Disabling f keys in certain applications

[Colecf]

I was wondering if I could disable the special function for f11 when in a certain application. (minecraft specifically) F11 is the key for Minecraft to enter full-screen mode which I like to do, but the volume down takes presidence so I have to hold down fn and press f11.

Is there a way to disable this only when in minecraft? Volume controls are still valuable to me when doing other things.

It's system-wide, but easy to toggle on and off, as you need it.

I guess that works. I knew about this, but was wondering if there was a way for it to auto-toggle in certain applications.

EDIT: I guess my next question would be, can I run an applescript or something similar when a particular application gets opened, closed, selected, or deselected?

You have not looked at the Keyboard panel enough, look in the Keyboard Shortcuts" section. There is a "+" button. Click on it, and you should be able to figure it out from there. It can be a bit of a pain, but it works.

There is indeed an Apple Script! I use it all the time for Photoshop.

The below code might not copy and paste over properly, so I've included a download link as well.

tell application "System Preferences"
	activate
	set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
	
	tell application "System Events"
		tell application process "System Preferences"
			get properties
			click radio button "Keyboard" of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard"
			click checkbox "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard"
		end tell
	end tell
	quit
