How to set up a keyboard shortcut for "Shut Down..."?

[aquasky]

Hi there

There used to be a way to shut down the Mac just by pressing a certain key combo. I've just bought the new MacBook Pro (Apple M2 Max, 2023 running Ventura 13.4 and can't see to work out how to do it. This official instruction does not work (see screenshot)


Is there a way to program a keyboard shortcut to quit all apps and shut down the computer?

Thanks so much!

Nik

You can go ahead and create your own:

Shutdown code for M1 - Apple Community

As above: set a keyboard shortcut.

"Shut Down..." will prompt to shutdown
"Shut Down" will shut down immediately.

Hg.wells thanks so much for the direction, and thank you adrianlondon for suggesting to use "Shut Down". It didn't work for me before because I used 3 dots instead of ellipsis. Thanks to adrianlondon I did away with the 3 dots/ellipsis all-together and just coded "Shut Down" and now everything works perfectly.
