Log out
Uses AppleScript to press the keyboard shortcut ⌥+⇧+⌘+Q to immediately log out the current user.
Activate Control Center
Uses an AppleScript command to directly activate Control Center on the Mac.
Shortcut Information
Use this shortcut to quickly access you WiFi, Bluetooth, Display, Keyboard Brightness, Sound, Music, Focus, and Screen Mirroring controls inside the new(ish) Control Center on the Mac.
This works well for keeping those individual items off the main Menu Bar and rememembering to trigger those from Control Center more often by quickly popping up the menu – I just don’t think to click on it most of the time due to muscle memory.
