As someone using the 2011 Macbook (bought about a month ago) I have to say some things really annoy me in OSX, some things less so. I'm slowly getting used to the Mac way of doing things, but still occasionally cmd-L to lock my screen only to find I have to go to a hot corner instead.

Try Lock Me Now [1], which lets you lock your screen from the menu bar or configure a keyboard shortcut. [1] http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lock-me-now/id464265594?mt=12 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lock-me-now/id464265594?mt=12

  Why a separate app when Keychain Access already supports this out of the box?

Try Ctrl+Shift+Eject as a shortcut key to lock your screen without needing extra software.

You can use Ctrl + Shift + Eject to lock your screen, also if you open up Keychain Access, then in options (Apple + ,) select "Show keychain status in menu bar", now you have a lock that shows up next to the rest of the menu bar icons, clicking on it provides an option named "Lock screen".

  It's annoying that I have to do some sort of three finger claw salute. This is just me being lazy but is there any way to reconfigure the shortcut?

    I don't know. I've never had an issue with running three fingers up one side of my keyboard!
