What is the equivalent of the shortcut Win + L on a Mac? Eg. the shortcut to lock the computer when you go away from it.

Answer

A solution using Quicksilver (or any utility that can bind a keyboard shortcut to an AppleScript):

• 
  

  Create an AppleScript (using /Application/Apple Script/Script Editor.app), containing..

  
  

  do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend"
  



• 
  

  Save it somewhere (~/Library/Scripts/ maybe)

  
  


• 
  

  Open the Quicksilver preferences (open quicksilver and press Cmd+,)

  
  


• 
  

  Go to Triggers, click Add Hotkey (from the + button)

  
  


• 
  

  Find the script, make sure the action is "Run" and click save:

  
  

  

  
  


• 
  

  Click the Trigger next to the new entry, and press the desired lock keyboard shortcut
