OSX: Eject Key Joyfulness

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
Option – Command – Eject Computer to sleep
Ctrl – Command – Eject Computer Restart
Ctrl – Option – Command – Eject Shutdown computer completely
