Другой вариант - использовать файл private.xml следующим образом с KeyRemap4MacBook:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
<name>fkeys</name>
<identifier>fkeys</identifier>
<only>FKEYS</only>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, KeyCode::F1</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::BRIGHTNESS_UP, KeyCode::F2</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F1, KeyCode::BRIGHTNESS_DOWN</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F2, KeyCode::BRIGHTNESS_UP</autogen>
</item>
</root>
Это перевернет все F-клавиши, когда MacVim находится впереди:
