Many apps do not like FakeKeyPress, so it is probably not an
appropriate way to try to 'escape' a keybinding, since many apps will
just ignore fake events anyways. The options already listed in this
thread are most likely the better approaches.

1) Write a custom function that turns keybindings on/off, then you can
use that to escape the binding by turning it off, then you can run the
function again to turn it back on.

2) Use a modifier on the key bindings, so F1 isn't a key binding
anymore, this way F1 can pass to the applications just fine.
