Q: Powerbutton makes my Macbook Air go straight to sleep
-
Oct 31, 2013 7:36 PMby HelenoBR,That really *****.
Apple has to return power button to power dialog. As it worked perfectly.
if i want to put my mac to sleep, i can simply close the lid.
this is not an improvement. this is power button that does not work.
-I want my power button for shuting down.
In my case power button has just became Ctrl + power. this is so lame...

In https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/pmset.1.html you can find complete intorduction to pmset.
I changed values in this file according to pmset manual. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
It works for me. Backup your file before change it.

Nov 5, 2013 9:57 PMby jogrre,i popped off the power button. now i don't accidentally GLANCE off the corner of the stupid thing when going to the delete key. granted, to power on/off i have to press the little nub in the middle, but that is NO PROBLEM AT ALL when compared to the hassle of disconnected VPNs and having to re-establish terminal sessions etc.! c'mon apple, don't make me get my tattoo removed!

Dec 11, 2013 10:39 AMby PlotinusVeritas,Such that the power button now comes with a third option, and is in the upper right corner out of the way of inadvertent touching....
there should be no normal circumstances when you are touching the power button unless it is on purpose.
suggest simply not touching the power button.

Dec 11, 2013 11:53 AMby jogrre,LOL. that was a HILLARIOUS joke comment, "suggest simply not touching the power button". genius...
<sigh>
if only it were true...
"out of the way" is NOT what i would call a button right above the DELETE key and right next to the volume up key!
throwing bricks at apple sounds good to me
