Log out
Uses AppleScript to press the keyboard shortcut ⌥+⇧+⌘+Q to immediately log out the current user.
System control shortcuts
Shortcuts that use AppleScript to interact with the Mac system features.
Use these shortcuts to simulate key presses on your Mac using the Run AppleScript action.
Check out each shortcut’s script as a reference for your own AppleScript adventures too – everything here I figured out by looking at examples online.
