Toggle external screen mode on iBooks with F7
Just out of curiosity, I pressed only F7 (resp. Fn+F7, see comment above) (like marked on the MacBook keyboard) - and that works as well (In fact, by default every combination including F7 seems to have the same effect - and it seems to be definitively new since some of the last 10.4-updates).
Be careful with this...
