| [OS X] "Locking" OSX?
In Windows, hitting Winkey + L locks the system and puts up a password prompt screen. Is there an equivalent of this for OSX? If there is, I can't find it :/
(And I don't mean putting a password lock on sleep mode so that you must enter a password upon resuming from sleep.)

You could use that or fast user switch. You can lock the screen to the login window. |

Boston, MA | Perfect.. adding the Keychain status to the menu bar does the trick, thanks! The only improvement to that I can think of is a keyboard shortcut for it  |
