Shortcut to shutdown the new Macbook Pro Touch Bar running Mojave

This is a helpful hint since the usual keyboard shortcut is no longer available to shutdown Mac OS.


  • System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
  • Choose App Shortcuts
  • Press "+" to create a new shortcut
  • Application choose "All Applications"
  • Menu Title type: Shut Down
  • Keyboard Shortcut: Option-O (you can choose another combination if you like)


That's it. You can now use your Shortcut to shutdown your new MacBook.

Thanks!

I didn't update Mojave, but instead figured out what caused the problem. I'm using Finnish as the system language, so the shutdown menu title doesn't read "Shut Down.." but the Finnish equivalent. Once I realised that the menu title my new shortcut is referring to has to match exactly that found in the Apple Menu, I got the thing working.
