It goes even further. Generally all the function keys that are tied to
some system feature that has a preference pane will open system
preferences when you hit them with the option key. So Option-F1/F2
(which are screen brightness down and up) bring up the displays
preference pane. Option-F3 brings up Mission Control preferences,
Option-F4/F5 (backlit key brightness down/up) brings up the keyboard
preferences and option F10/F11/F12 (mutes, sound down/up) bring up the
sound preferences. At least it's this way on the laptops.

If you do option + F12, it will open system prefs into the sounds pref pain

Hi,
I don't recall there ever being a default shortcut for opening system
preferences. You can create one yourself though by going into system
prefs/keyboards and select the keyboard shortcut tab.

I have seemed to forget completely how on earth to access System Preferences
with the keyboard. Yeah, I know about going to the Apple menu, then go down to
System Preferences, but as I recall, there is a shortcut key that will bring it
right up. I remember it being something like option+F12. I know it had the
option key and the F12 key as part of the combination, but I don't recall the
exacts. As much as I hang out in there, it would be nice to know. I should
add that I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I did go under system prefs,
keyboard, and I did look on the shortcuts tab, to see if I could find the
actual command, but I can't. Is there another way that I could make this
happen? Don't tell me they took this out of Mountain Lion, as I know in Lion,
and in Snow Leopard, it worked fantasticly. I just don't remember the command.
