Shut down or sleep with a keyboard command?

[Morod]

Hi all,
I have a late 2007 24" Al iMac running Leopard 10.5.4, using a BT MM. I would like to turn off the BT MM to extend battery life, but after I sleep or shut down the iMac, while turning off the mouse I invariably click the mouse, causing the iMac to awaken. So I've just been leaving the mouse turned on, an expensive habit.
Is there a way to sleep or shut down the iMac using keyboard commands, so that I can turn off the mouse first, then sleep the iMac?
Thanks for any help! 🙂

to put to sleep: option + + eject

to shut down: press ctrl + eject, then hit return.


(There are loads of search results on google on mac shortcuts. Have a browse and I'll bet you'll never need the mouse again😀)

You can also use the Apple remote to sleep or wake your computer. Simply hold the play/pause button till you see the remote with the Zs floating above it. It will sleep in a second. Wake up the computer the same way.
