This worked in Freya but doesn't work in Loki.


Go to System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom.

Add new command by clicking the + button and add: gnome-session-quit --power-off, then press keys to create shortcut.

Log out and in to be able to use the new shortcut.

I think it looks even more elementary OS-style than the default shutdown menu.

The command for the default shutdown menu is (as provided by this answer):

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=com.canonical.Unity /org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open uint32:2 uint32:0 uint32:0 array:objpath:[]
