Put your Mac to sleep with this keyboard shortcut
I like to put my PowerBook to sleep when I'm done using it, but when I'm at home and "docked" (hooked up to my mouse, my power adapter, my firewire drive and firewire audio interface), then I don't like to make it sleep by closing the lid. Instead, I use a nice undocumented keyboard shortcut:
Cmd - Option - Eject
(you could also call it Apple - Option - Eject or Command - Option - Eject)
This puts my PowerBook (and any other Mac) immediately to sleep, even from an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. Now if I could only make it wake up from that same keyboard...
