Shortcut to shut down Mac

If you google it, you will find that you can shut down Mac Using Keyboard Shortcut(key combination) as shown below:

Command + Option + Control + Eject / Power

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

However, if you like me, either you are using Mac Mini, or you don't have a keyboard with the "Eject" key, the above trick may not work for you.

In addition, I dislike doing a task by pressing 4 keys simutaneously. 3 keys, by far are the most I can afford.

What is even worse, I cannot remember the key combations, is it Command + Option + Control + Eject / Power or Command + Shift + Control + Eject / Power? I often confuse myself.

What I expect is something like:

Shift + Command + Q
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Simple, intuitive and easy to remember!
