Morning all,

What are the shortcut keys for the login screen? Currently I have to go to my name in the top right, click that, and then select 'Login Window'.

I just wondered if it was possible to do this with keys...

Cheers,

Sam.
 
For a list of Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:

or

or a Google search:

If you're referring to Fast User Switching, where you go to the Login screen without logging out, there is no keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X for that. If you do a Google search you'll find several different methods recommended to accomplish this, none of which, in my opinion, is worth the effort. After all, it's just click-click with the mouse and you're there.
 
Simple press this key:
⌃ + ⇧ + ⏏ (Control + Shift + Eject)

It worked at Mountain Lion 10.8
