I have been trying to find a keyboard shortcut to shutdown my M1 Mac without using a mouse or trackpad. The long-established 'Ctrl+Esc' and 'Carriage Return' keyboard sequence, using only 3 key presses, has been removed by Apple, for some unfathomable reason. The best sequence which I have found so far to do that is:
1] Press ‘Fn+Control+F2’,
2] Press the 'Down' cursor key 1 time
3] Press 'Up' cursor key 3 times
4] Press Carriage Return 2 times.
But that is 9 key presses; far too many for efficient work. Varying the number of cursor key presses allows selection of Sleep and Restart options.
Can anyone find a more succinct shortcut? Better yet, can anyone on here persuade Apple to see good sense and restore a simple key sequence for the old Shutdown/Restart/Sleep keyboard commands?
Thanks.
