OSX: Eject Key Joyfulness

November 11, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 1 Comment 

When shut­ting down your MAC using func­tion and the eject but­ton is the fast­est way to get things done.


My favour­ite is Ctrl — Option — Command — Eject, per­fect for “going home time”.

Ctrl — Shift — Eject Puts screen to sleep

Ctrl — Command — Eject Computer Restart
Ctrl — Option — Command — Eject Shutdown com­puter completely
