Keyboard Shortcut for "Use all F1, F2, etc..."?

[thebigpicture]

I'm trying to find a keyboard shortcut to toggle the check box in the "Keyboard Preferences" titled "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".
Or, what would be even better, would be a way to enable this feature when specific apps are focused. (i.e. Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop... you know the apps I use function keys for).

I'm looking for this as well. Best of luck.

you mean like fn lock?

i made myself an automator script and put it on f13 since its above the fn key!
i'm not really satisfied with this solution though.... does somebody know how to do this with apple script?

I'm looking for the exact same thing, but it doesn't seem to exist

I'd like to do it from Starcraft, because I really need the F1-12 keys, but I sometimes forget to turn this option on/off before starting the game.

oohh, would you mind sharing the AppleScript? I'd like it to toggle before and after playing Starcraft 2

Download the AppleScript.
If you are on Snow Leopard see the comments on how to edit it for Snow Leopard...

EDIT:
I edited the AppleScript for Snow Leopard and it works perfectly. you can download it here:

Just in case someone is interested, it works on Lion too ! (Can't try on ML and Maverick)

But the Macsteps website is down...

Thank you very much for the script !
