Put Your Mac or Your Monitor to Sleep Instantly with a Keyboard Command [Shortcut Of The Day]

If you're finished working with your Mac for the day and want a quick way to turn off the monitors or put your system to sleep, you don't need to use a hot corner or special app to do it, just a keyboard shortcut.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Eject to put your Mac's displays to sleep immediately, with no warnings or delay. If you're really finished working and want to put your Mac to sleep, press Opt+Cmd+Eject to instantly put your Mac to sleep.

While the Mac has no consistently effective keyboard command to lock the screen, you can set it to require a password to wake up from sleep (System Preferences > Security) and combine it the instant-sleep shortcut to get the same effect. Photo by Declan Jewell.

Shortcut of the Day highlights a great shortcut on various platforms from the desktop to mobile devices to the web. You can find more shortcuts here.
