The following applescript shows how:

--applescript
tell application "TeXShop"
	activate
	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke "1" using command down
		keystroke "f" using command down --important to use lowercase
	end tell
end tell

This can be entered as a new macro in the Macro Editor (Macros Menu) and given a trigger of your choice.
