You can lock the screen with cmd+ctrl q.
Control–Shift–Power button* or Control–Shift–Media Eject : Put your displays to sleep.
Here are some other keyboard shortcuts: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236
- def- 5y agoThere is no power button anymore: > * Does not apply to the Touch ID sensor. I have not found a way yet to reliably put the device to sleep from keyboard. With a shortcut it wakes immediately, maybe because it registers the letting go of the keys as a wakeup signal.
- tzguide 5y agoIf you mean sleeping the display and not the whole computer, I ended up defining a hot corner to do it in the Displays preference pane in System Preferences. Then I can just swipe the mouse/trackpad to that corner without worrying about overshooting, works every time. I used to use the keyboard shortcut until I got a Mac without the power/eject keys.
