Hi ET,
Quite simply, when I press CMD-E, nothing happens. At all. VO says nothing. I
haven’t run disk utility, I just figured that the command had changed.

Any error dialogs? I've used this command on all kinds of external drives
including ones I use for backups. Have you run First Aid in Dish Utility? What
happens if you shut down, disconnect the drive, boot up, connect it. Can you
then eject it with command e?

I don’t know what to say. I cannot eject my backup disk with CMD-E.

CMD + E, will eject an external drive.
This command works in macOS Monterey, and every other version of the Mac
operating system I have ever used.

Hi Janet
It is a backup drive, and that is what I have been doing. I was just hoping
there was a single key-press option for performing this function, as there was
prior to Monterrey.
Thanks to all who responded.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi Donna,
Is the item you want to eject a backup drive? If so, go to Finder and VO-Left
and Right Arrow until you hear the name of your drive. Then do Shift-VO-M and
arrow down to eject. It may take a minute or two before the drive is ready to
be ejected.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I notice that in Monterrey CMD-E no longer works to eject an external disk
drive. Anyone know if there’s a new command? I tried CMD-Option-E but that
didn’t do it.
TIA,
Donna
