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.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.5
