Is there a keyboard shortcut to trigger the shutdown-reboot menu on Precise?, I know tahrpup but does not work on Precise.

will appreciate help.

I was never sure why Barry's Pups (Precise, Racy and Quirky) never had the Power button hooks enabled for shutdown/suspend like the community Slacko, Tahr, etc.

But I just add keyboard shortcuts anyway, quicker than the power button pop-up menu and more direct.

In your Desktop>JWM Window Manager Settings, just add a Keyboard Shortcut.

I like CTRL-ALT-s for shutdown:
mask: AC, key: s, action: exec:wmpoweroff

Easy to press with one hand, but not too easy.

very helpful, but was looking to active the shutdown menu, with choice of reboot, logout etc.

Just to clarify, are you asking for a "keyboard shortcut" which I showed.
Or are you asking for the "Power Button" functionality?
You can download acpid-busibox package for that.
