Suzuka Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 does anyone know of a hot key or anything that lets you shut off the moniter/display for an imac besides waiting for it, puting it to sleep or changing the option in the prefs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 What if you do Control - F2 until it goes dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippin Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ctrl - F2 looks like Alt on Windows... the apple is highlighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swad Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ah, well on my Macbook F2 is brightness. You can lower it all the way to off, which is a nice feature. Sounds like a haxie is in order for the iMac. Couldn't an Applescript do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
