Hi all,
Just upgraded from a late 2008 MBP to a 2011 MacBook Air i7, and so far I'm loving it. One thing I miss from my old computer, though, is the keyboard shortcut to shutdown (Command-Option-Control-Eject). Is there a different shortcut to shutdown the Air without the eject button?
Thanks.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7), Core i7
Not that I can find. Looks like you press the power button and select shutdown from the menu.

u may also use the power button and type "s"

I miss that too. In addition to fschweig's idea, the "Shutdown" option is the default highlighted on the window that comes up when you hit the power button, so you can just hit the Return key, which is fairly close by.

sheesh! Thanks a bunch, man! Been looking for that one ever since my mum acquired her very own MBA. Nifty little machine, but when I first wanted to use [CTRL]+[OPT]+[CMD]+[EJECT], I noticed that no [EJECT] was there. Which is obvious, as the machine doesn't come with any device that would require one... SoI'm very happy that I have now come to know this shortcut...!
Just tap the power button, then the enter key.
Shutdown.
Nah... This one ([FN]+[CTRL]+[OPT]+[CMD]+[PWR]) works perfectly. I always prefer to do things as quickly as possible, i.e. by seeing as few dialogue boxes as can possibly be. On any Mac other than the MBA, I could just have used [CTRL]+[OPT]+[CMD]+[EJECT] for this purpose, but with the eject key not implemented on an MBA, that would be something of an impossibiity... This new shortcut, however, has solved this problem... It's just one additional key, and it's just next to the ones that need to be pressed for the original shortcut as well...
thank you....although it is ridiculous to have to press four buttons!!! just to shutdown...might as well just hit the power button, right? lolol Miss my 8 year old Macbook...command S and it was done!! geesh.......apple........
[FN] (1) + [CTRL] (2) + [OPT] (3) + [CMD] (4) + Power (5)! Not just four, but five(!) buttons... Even more insane, if you'd compare it to your average 2 or three-button shortcuts. Yet, I still prefer this shortcut over having to deal with dialogue boxes or menu commands... Shortcuts always have my preference; even back in the days when I used to use Windows as my default operating system.
Keyboard shutdown command without eject button?
