Mac – Is it possible restart Mac from 2nd monitor only without mouse

mac-minimojave

My Mac has an issue where sometimes the primary monitor won't wake up, but the Mac thinks it is connected. So In such cases, I only see my secondary (much smaller) monitor.

Typically I cannot find the mouse cursor so I'm left with a monitor but no way to do anything. Restarting fixes it but I end up having to force-power-down by holding the MacMini power button then restarting… is there a way I can access the Restart menu option in this scenario instead?

Best Answer

You can set a key command to it, same as any menu item, though you're flying blind. If any app wants you to confirm save/discard you may not see it.

Whilst I'm aware this is really an XY Problem I've answered the Y ;)
