Want to wake up each morning to a freshly brewed pot of coffee and a fully powered-on Mac? It’s easier than you might think.

It’s the easiest way to ensure compatibility with, well, everything, and setting up Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac—while occasionally fussy—isn’t very difficult to do. The keys still work properly unshifted gives you comma/full stop and shifted gives you exclamation mark/question mark. Selected keyboard is still standard qwerty. Emoji were turned off long before this change and keybaird was still fine after that. Power button: Press to turn on your Mac or wake it from sleep. Press and hold for 1.5 seconds to put your Mac to sleep. Continue holding to force your Mac to turn off. Option–Command–Power button. or Option–Command–Media Eject: Put your Mac to sleep. The Macintosh offers a key labeled Control (or, on laptops, “ctrl”), but it isn’t the equivalent of the PC’s Ctrl key. The Mac’s Control key is primarily for helping you “right-click” things, as described earlier. Instead, the Macintosh equivalent of the Windows Ctrl key is the ⌘ key. It’s right next to the space bar.

Just like the timer on your coffee machine, the built-in clock on your iMac or MacBook can start up—or shut down—your Mac on any schedule you choose, perfect for anyone (like me) who’s tired of waiting for their system to rouse itself after a night’s slumber.
Ctrl F On Mac
You can set your Mac to start up, go to sleep, restart, or shut itself down on any schedule you choose.
Here’s how to get started…
Full Stop Button On Mac Keyboard
- Click the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen, then select System Preferences.
- Next, click the Energy Saver icon, then click the “Schedule…” button in the bottom-right corner of the window.
Want your Mac to power itself up every weekday at 7 a.m.? Check the box next to “Start up or wake,” then select “Weekdays” from the pulldown menu. Finally, set the timer to 7:00 AM. - You can also set your Mac to shut itself down, restart, or put itself into “sleep” mode at a given time. Check the box next to the “Shut Down” pull-down menu, then set a weekly schedule and time. And don’t worry—your Mac will give you fair warning (10 minutes, to be exact) before it shuts itself down.
- All done? Click the blue “OK” button.
