It's possible to setup a key in advmenu.rc to shutdown your system, we  had it like that for some time. I can't remember now the exact option, but it's there. I don't know if key combos are possible either.

You can also set it to shutdown on exit instead of going back to the groovyaracde menu

The shutdown key option for AdvmenuPlus on advmenu.rc is this:

...
event_assign shutdown lcontrol esc
...

With the default configuration, pressing left control key + esc should shutdown the system. Nevertheless, for some reason, it didn't work for me, so I changed it to other key. It shuts the computer down without going to the setup menu. You could assing that option to whatever key combo your input system would use for shutdown.
