16" Macbook Pro keyboard command to shut down?

[Hexley]

What keyboard command do I use to shut down the 16"?

It has a Touch ID button and lacks a Media Eject

button.

There isn't a keyboard shortcut assigned to Shut Down, unless you've set one. Some older models responded to Control+Power Button, but I don't believe that applies to TouchID buttons.

However, these Terminal commands should work:

Shutdown

sudo shutdown -h now

Reboot

sudo shutdown -r now

More info about the shutdown command

man shutdown

long press the fingerprint button

Only issue is that's a hard shut down, not an ordered graceful one.

But it works, didn't ask for specifics

The TouchID sensor does not support those keyboard shortcut, unfortunately. It's a shame. I've been using the shutdown/reboot keyboard shortcuts for ages and it's taking some time to unlearn the habit of using them.

On my 2012 MBP:
cmd + ctrl + eject = restart
cmd + opt + ctrl + eject = shutdown

The 16" Pro has a TouchID sensor where the Media Eject button would be, so those keyboard shortcuts won't work on OP's MacBook.
