Q: How do I use the restart keyboard combination on my MacBook Air without eject button?

On my MacBook Air, I noticed that there are two restart combinations: 'Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' force restarts my mac and 'Cmd+Ctrl+Eject' restarts my mac normally (not force restart). OS X: Keyboard shortcuts

 

I noticed that there is no eject button on my macbook air and was wondering if anyone knows how to restart a macbook air without eject button.

 

I have tried using 'Cmd=Ctrl+Power Button' but as I said, it force restarts my mac not restarts it normally.

 

Also, 'Fn+Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' also force restarts my mac.

Please could someone tell me how to retort my mac normally with the keyboard shor

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

A:

With Applescript Editor crate an application with the following script:

 

tell application "Finder"

restart

end tell

Put the application in the Dock and clicking on it will restart your MBA.
