I love caffeine, but I really wish it were just a keyboard shortcut or perhaps a command line / terminal command. Has anyone figured out a way to activate / deactivate Caffeine using another method besides clicking?

Ask the developer to implement a shortcut ? Otherwise you have two options : NO, or you can make a UI applescript hack to access the menubar and click it for you. – Kassym Dorsel Oct 26 '11 at 22:05

Caffeine has a tiny AppleScript dictionary:

tell application "Caffeine"
    if active then
        turn off
    else
        turn on
    end if
end tell

Assign a shortcut to running a script in OS X - Super User

How can you tell what is in the application's Applescript dictionary? – cwd Oct 27 '11 at 19:27
