![]() ![]() Children building toys… not men designing machines, sadly. The computer industry today - short voice activation, which is the real goal - has more interfaces to what should be a STANDARD MECHANICAL DEVICE than the automotive industry ever came up with in more than 200 years of development. Going back & forth is the real issue because people develop a natural kinesthetic reflex response to the keyboard they have, the smartphone they have, etc. My dad (to whom I provide endless free computer tech support) has the short keyboard. To shut down your Mac, press the following key combination exactly as shown: Command + Option + Control + Eject / Power. The maddening thing… is that you have to use different keyboard sequences depending on the keyboard you have. However, most computer professionals use the standard wide-QWERTY keyboard with attached number pad that has paging function buttons (page up, page down, arrow, etc.) Unfortunately, on most iMac models they ship (by default) the shorter office keyboard. Then you can use the Ctrl + Shift + Pause/Break to lock your screen. The one I used that is working is under 'For PC Users' -> 'Change PC PrintScreen Key, ScollLock Key, and Pause/BreakKey' -> then check 'Pause/Break Key to Power'. Actually… what you can do ALSO depends on which Apple keyboard you are using. In Karabiner there are a bunch of options to map a key to the 'power' key.
