How to shut down 16" MacBookPro (M1) from keyboard? All my Intel based Macintosh computers have had a keyboard shortcut for shutting down the computer, they do not seem to work on this M1 machine with a touch-ID power button. Is there any keyboard method for shutting down (without having to mouse up to the Apple menu and choose shutdown from the drop down menu)? MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), Apple M1 Pro chip, Monterey 12.5.

Is there a key combination that shuts down a Mac Studio? Hi Apple Community, Is there a key combination that shuts down a Mac Studio? I'm use to the Control-Option-Command-Eject button from my old iMac. But I can't find any on Apple's support site or the Internet, on what to use to shutdown a Mac Studio. I know I can use the menu Apple- shutdown but I'm old school I guess and prefer a key driven way to shutdown. Any solutions? Thanks,

There is no key command to shut down the Mac.

The proper way to shut down is to click Apple menu  > Shut Down...

Thank you so much, I used to always shut down my my older Macs from the key command and this just solved my problem!
