How to Lock Screen

[gagasyou]

Hello. I'm sorry for my poor English skill.

I want to Lock Screen by using KM keyboard shortcut. (Not only sleep, lock)
I know it can select Apple logo mark on the left side of the menu bar → Lock Screen.
But, how do I set Apple logo mark on the menu bar in KM?

Thank you.

Hi, @gagasyou. Try these two steps:

1. Follow the instructions provided here: Require a password after waking your Mac - Apple Support
2. Download, install, and execute the following Keyboard Maestro macro.

If you go to the Gear button menu in the action, you can select Help from the bottom of the menu, which will take you to the Select or Show a Menu Item action documentation on the wiki.

That includes:

For menus in the Apple menu, use the title “Apple”.

So just use “Apple”.
