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.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.5
Hi,
Following key combinations could shutdown your MacBook Pro.

PS: and there is no 'eject' key (likely because there is no CD/DVD player in this system).
Having tried most of those, I can attest that the touch ID (power) key on this laptop does not function (in combination with other keys or alone) to initiate a system shutdown.
(If I have the a Terminal (command line) session open, the "shutdown -h now" command does work, but that was not what I was looking for.)
A simple "Shutdown" or "Halt" command from terminal should work.
How to shut down 16" MacBookPro (M1) from keyboard?
