If throughout the day we usually access the Mac repeatedly but intermittently, it is likely that you have chosen to log out quickly before leaving so that when you need it again, all the applications that you had open are still open and you do not have to go one by one opening them again. But if you are one of those users who does not want to leave the computer in rest and prefer to turn it off every time we have to go out, in order to save electricity, it is likely that you are more than tired of having to go to the top menu to access the shutdown option . Fortunately thanks to the keyboard shortcuts, we can carry out this process quickly and easily.
To turn off the Mac quickly without having to resort to the Mac menus, we just have to press together launch keys Control + Media Ejection. As soon as you press these key combinations on the screen, a menu will appear with which we can turn off the Mac, put it to sleep, restart it or log off. Obviously this trick is only valid on Mac models that use an external keyboard, such as Mac Mini and iMac.
If your Mac is a laptop, the key combination is Control + off key. The following options will then be displayed: reboot, sleep, log off, and shutdown. Another way to turn off our Mac but without resorting to keyboard shortcuts is by pressing the off button for a second and a half. After this time, the shutdown menu will appear on the screen that allows us to restart it, put it to sleep, log off or turn it off.
I have never been a proponent of keyboard shortcuts until I tried them and got used to using them. Since you love the amount of time I waste using the mouse has been reduced considerably. If you spend many hours in front of the computer, it may be a good idea to start using keyboard shortcuts. You will appreciate it.
