alt-fn on apple external keyboard [quarter-solved]

I need to send alt-F1 or alt-F2 or ... to my VM on an external iMac wired keyboard.  these are the virtual console keys on linux.  one needs to go to the Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Key Mappings and enter them there.

 

alas, how do I enter "F1" in the bottom ?  I cannot type in the key, and in OSX it is intercepted by the screen brightness.  for example, I may want to map applekey-w to alt-F1 .

 

advice appreciated.
