What is the keyboard shortcut to sleep display on the Macbook Air?

Shift+Control+Power as stated by Apple at: Mac keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support

This thread was just hilarious to read. I love how 99% of you failed to read the OP's actual question. COMPUTER STANDBY SLEEP is DIFFERENT than DISPLAY SLEEP. There are MANY ways to do this, he wants the most simple way. Anyway, thanks to the last poster made it simple and easy.

control+shift+power button is DISPLAY SLEEP

Pressing the power button and hitting S is COMPUTER STANDBY SLEEP

You can immediately put your computer to sleep in Mac OS X by pressing Command-Option-Eject.

On the Air there's no eject button (as the OP stated in his post).

Sorry about that. Using an external keyboard.

Then just tap the power button it gives a few options, one being to sleep the Mac. What could be easier.

The power button displays the Sleep/Restart/Shutdown dialog. If you then press S the Mac will sleep.

Yeah indeed, I would like to know also. No help on this? 😢

I wish there would be shortcut for this, as in my older macbook air has... anyhow this is better than nothing.

Thnx

Press the power button and the "S," that's it. Short and sweet! But then again, didn't read the question correctly. Hope someone finds the answer.

Thanks appletart, i think, at least for me, a sweet and very appliable answer on the very first question in this conversation.

Glad it works for you. Just hope I can get my MBA reconnect to my wifi after sleep. Update 10.7.3 didn't work as advertised, perhaps the next update! Aloha.

control+shift+fn+power button

the best way is,

click power button

click s (sleep shorcut)

To put the display to sleep, just hit: control+shift+power.

No need to add the fn key to the sequence as someone mentioned above.
