Shut Down shortcut on MacBook Air 2020

Is it still possible to shut down the computer using a shortcut like control-option-command-eject despite the absence of such an eject/power button on this MacBook?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Shortcut to shut down I use a windows keyboard for my Mac, but nothing happens when I press ctrl alt win and f12.Are this not the keys for control option command and eject? And if they are, why is it not working?

Is there a key combination that shuts down a Mac Studio? Hi Apple Community, Is there a key combination that shuts down a Mac Studio? I'm use to the Control-Option-Command-Eject button from my old iMac. But I can't find any on Apple's support site or the Internet, on what to use to shutdown a Mac Studio. I know I can use the menu Apple- shutdown but I'm old school I guess and prefer a key driven way to shutdown. Any solutions? Thanks,

How to shut down 16" MacBookPro (M1) from keyboard? All my Intel based Macintosh computers have had a keyboard shortcut for shutting down the computer, they do not seem to work on this M1 machine with a touch-ID power button. Is there any keyboard method for shutting down (without having to mouse up to the Apple menu and choose shutdown from the drop down menu)? MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), Apple M1 Pro chip, Monterey 12.5.

Please read How to turn your Mac on or off. Your MBA's Touch ID button is its power button.
