Since I don¡¯t have that model keyboard or any device that has Touch ID, it was a WAG, a wild a?? guess. I thought that the button with the depression could perform other functions, but not sleep. It was more than had been suggested up to that point. I thought since it the new iMac had a M4 chip, it was a 2024 model, with macOS 15, so no optical drive and therefore no eject key.?
I¡¯m surprised the OP could use a keyboard shortcut to put heralded ?Mac to sleep. It hasn¡¯t been available from System 7 to Catalina, that I can tell, unless it was done somehow with a third party app or something like Hot Corners, but not a key combination.
A standard Apple Keyboard shortcut¡
Option¨CCommand¨CPower button* or Option-Command-Media Eject: Put your Mac to sleep.
* Does not apply to the Touch ID sensor.
