Mac shortcuts for shutting down

There are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts related to the Eject key (the one for ejecting disc in the DVD drive).

Control + Shift + Eject -- This puts your screen to sleep (my personal favorite for saving energy when I am stepping away from the computer).

Option + Command + Eject -- Puts your computer to sleep.

Control + Command + Eject -- Restart your computer.

Control + Option + Command + Eject -- Shutdown your computer.
