Apple Macintosh 'Sleep' Keyboard Shortcut - Two Seconds to Sleep

Submitted by Jonathan on 7 July 2006 - 10:25am

Categories:

I'm not usually one for keyboard shortcuts, apart from the basic ones, like Undo, Select All, Copy / Paste etc. I subscribe to Apple's 'Hot Tip' feed which explains how to send your Mac to sleep in just two seconds.


"Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound — nuthin’ — just fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn’t get much faster than that."

It works for me if I press and hold Command and Option and then just give the Eject key a quick tap. Pressing and holding Eject causes the Mac to sleep and then wake right back up again.
