Keyboard shortcut to turn on Mirroring of displays

I got a projector as a christmas pressie this year and I love it! I found this useful little tip in my travels which is very convenient when you have settled yourself in with a wireless keyboard only to realise that you haven't turned on mirroring of your displays, doh! You can easily turn on the mirroring of displays in OS X by using the following command:

cmd + f1

(this assumes you haven't changed the configuration of your fnumber keys, in which case, i imagine the command would be):

cmd + fn + f1

However, i don't know about that last one!

Thank you.
For mirroring the displays on my MacBook Pro I found out that if the box "Use all F1, F, etc keys as standard function keys" is unticked in System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard then I need to use

cmd + f1

If the above box is ticked instead then I need to use

cmd + fn + f1
