- digital_voodoo 8y agoDidn't know this, I was using an Alfred command instead. Thanks!
- cerberusss 8y agoI was using some other workaround as well. The shortcut is new since Mojave! :)
- jacobush 8y agoHot corner it is for me.
- dewey 8y agoAlso if you have a Touch Bar Mac you can add a “lock” button to the Touch Bar. I mostly use that one and unlock with my watch when I come close.
- pfranz 8y agoI use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to put my screen to sleep (which locks it).
- cerberusss 8y agoIs this a default shortcut key?

- pfranz 8y agoWhoops. I never actually look at the keyboard (too late to edit my comment). It's Ctrl+Shift+Power
- oceliker 8y agoI’ve been using hot corners for approximately 5 years I think. It works very well. Just configure the top right corner to lock the computer (AFAIK it’s new in Mojave) or start the screensaver with an n-second delay for password prompt (configured separately under the screensaver tab). The delay is important because you will trigger it by mistake many times. The new lock option does not have a delay, which makes it a little less convenient.
- cjcampbell 8y agoThanks for posting this. I have been missing the Cmd-Shift-Power ever since getting a TouchBar.
- cerberusss 8y agoYeah I'm very happy with that shortcut :) others mentioned a shortcut with Ctrl-Shift-Escape, to force it to sleep. But doesn't seem to work in my case (I'm often using my MacBook in clamshell mode).
