Is there a way to hibernate at all? I know if the battery dies when it's sleeping it hibernates, but is there a way to go directly to hibernate with a keyboard shortcut?

  • @calavera It's definitely related, though the answer to that question was not a keyboard shortcut, so I'm inclined to keep this question open. – Kyle Cronin Sep 07 '10 at 13:26

Option-Command-Eject is the system-standard key to put the machine to sleep.

If you want to do more than sleep, you can use this preference pane to fine-tune the sleep or hibernate behavior: http://www.jinx.de/SmartSleep.html
