Shut down MacBook Pro (2016) with keyboard shortcut

[Sverkel]

Hi.

On my MacBook Air I can shut down my Mac by holding down ctrl+alt+cmd+ eject key, but does anyone know how I can do that with the 13" MacBook Pro 2016 w/ Touchbar?

ctrl-alt-cmd power

I did that but it does nothing on my machine?

Got it!

To shut down the new MacBook Pro with TouchBar you have to hold down shift+ctrl+alt and press the power button

For some reason the Mac shuts down much faster this way compared to when click the Apple logo in the menubar and select Shut Down... I wonder if it can damage the system or my files by doing the "shift+ctrl+alt and press the power button" command?

What do you all think?

How long are you holding down the power button? More than 5 seconds and you're just powering off the system without shutting it down. Bad idea.

Old thread I know, but the shift-ctrl-opt-touchID combo is the SMC reset, which also instantly powers off the MBP. So not a safe option for shut down on a regular basis.
