Rob, I think you may be using a laptop Mac or one for which the F keys are not dedicated keys, in which case the fn-key is required with any function key. My keyboard has dedicated function keys, so I would type Ctrl+F1 except that that combination toggles "full keyboard access" in System Preferences. I am a keyboard only freak (my number pad is my mouse: I use a mouse only when I am moving photos or graphic images around and now when I am screencasting) so I almost always want "full keyboard access". So in System Preferences I changed the "full keyboard access" key to plain F1 now, because of Ric's critique which prompted me to learn what "context sensitive help" really is.
