Mac Forum / General / Hardware / August 2007Sleeping on the new keyboard?
I just got one of the new aluminum keyboards. Although I really like the form factor and the typing quality, none of the keys seem to work right. Yes, I have installed the updater. The only thing I really need though is the sleep key. My old Apple Extended II would sleep by hitting the Power Key (so handy!). Is there any way to do this on the new machine without a three-finger salute? There's nothing in the Keyboard and Mouse control panel that seems to be obvious. >I just got one of the new aluminum keyboards.

Isn't there a setting for when you move your cursor off the top left corner for this? > The only thing I really need though is the sleep key.

The power key on ADB keyboards brought up the shutdown dialog. On USB keyboards that is now done with Control + Eject. The shortcut for immediate sleep is Command + Option + Eject. > The power key on ADB keyboards brought up the shutdown dialog. On USB > keyboards that is now done with Control + Eject.

Somebody just reviewed a bunch of programs for reassigning keys, you might Google it. I have no interest in that, so I didn't pay much attention. > I just got one of the new aluminum keyboards.

Saw the following in VersionTracker yesterday: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33052 ProShutdown - 1.0 restores "opposite corners" shutdown shortcut for new aluminum keyboard  SignatureBarry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** Doesn't it leave little chicklet marks on your cheek? |
