Power button changes in Mavericks
Authored by: YelloSno on Feb 26, '14 02:46:41AM

Good news! With the latest 10.9.2 update, Apple seems to have fixed how the power button reacts to presses. The MacBook no longer goes to sleep with a quick accidental press of the power button. You have to press and hold the power button for 1 second, then release it and the MacBook will go to sleep. If you press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, the Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down dialog box appears. I didn't try it, but I'm sure if you continue to press and hold the power button down longer than 2 seconds, it will do a hard shutdown. Yay!
