How to re-enable Power button old behaviour?
- Thread starter Lolito

I made an app to remap the power key. I change it to Forward Delete, myself.
Could anyone in this topic try it with 10.9, and report back? (I'll be testing with the GM later this week...)

That's better than nothing.. But, the main issue for me is that I always used the Power Key to Shut Down/Restart. Now I'll just be sleeping the MBP everytime I don't remember what the key does now. Is it possible to use that app and make it behave like pre Mavs?
what is the key shortcut to shutdown? or to show the shut down dialog? with the key remap application we may be able to re-enable the old behavior...

it's not possible to do it with key remp app. It would be great if that app you just created can execute these key shortcuts described here:

let us know if you could make it, it would be awesome!

I just read the LifeHacker article and noticed that all the shortcuts require the Eject key. rMBPs do not have an Eject key
PS: Sorry about double posting. Thought the board would merge both replies.
another flaw of the rMBP; i have no optical drive, and i remapped the eject key to actually eject all external drives, using ejectme app and key remap... ;-D
anyways, there must be another key chortcut to do the same thing in rMBP, just search for it. You could make your app work for any macbook, or imac there.
What I found on the rMBP is that some combos with the Power button actually turn off the screen and put the Macbook to sleep.
Could anyone with a rMBP and Mavs test this to see what happens?
You can find the different combos throughout the thread.

If your keyboard doesn't have an eject key, holding f12 works as an eject key. So cmd+opt+Ctrl+hold f12 should work. Works on a PC keyboard at least.
Yes, it's pretty cool. You need an app called EJECTME or something like that. Then you need another app called KEYREMAP to re-map the eject key into a the keyboard shortcut of the ejectme app to eject all external hard drives.
Just let me know if you need more help or if you didnt manage. Works perfect on my mbp.
I can confirm that. Accidentally hit it a couple of times, and it was always too fast to register.
Still sleeps immediately for me - regardless of if app window open or running in background. rMBP 10.9 GM.
I hate this feature for one simple reason: half the time my MBA goes to sleep in this way, it won't wake up! The only solution is to hard shutdown AND LOSE UNSAVED WORK. I never get stuck in sleep mode when I sleep the computer any other way.
So basically I have a key on MBA's keyboard that, when inadvertently pressed, could force me to do a hard shutdown!

Bring back the old Power Button behaviour or at least give us an option ffs.
If I want my MBP to go to sleep I close the lid.
I don't want to leave the lid open if I put it to sleep.
All that dust, etc.
Stupid idea Apple.
I only ever hit my power button to shut down my MBP.
It was brilliant and fast before.
Now it's not as good.
Bad functionality is bad.

If you, the reader, have any input at Apple, please raise this matter - rMPBs (and presumably Airs as well) at the very least need to be able to turn off this instant sleep function because it is much too easy to trigger accidentally, as has been iterated and reiterated already in this thread.

Not on mine it doesn't.
