How can I shortcut keyboard my 16 inch MacBook to sleep? I used to be able to do that when there was an eject key. 🤷‍♂️

Add a sleep button to your Touch Bar.

On a MacBook Pro, what key is a substitute for the 'Media Eject' or 'Power button'? How would you put the MBP asleep with keyboard shortcuts? The official Apple page with Mac OS shortcuts does not address MacBooks missing the Power and the Media Eject key. How would you put a MacBook Pro to sleep with keyboard shortcuts? Thanks,

Put iMac (late 2017) to sleep Can a key combination be created to put an iMac (5k 2017) to sleep? I've upgraded my keyboard and the old Opt-Cmd-Eject won't work as the Eject key is now a screen lock key. Is there some way (maybe using Automator or even Terminal) to create a replacement key combo to do this? Thanks

There is none that I could find for MacBook Pro with Touch ID sensor.

Instead, choose:

 Menu > Sleep

... and there is no standard shortcut for that choice.
