Dunno about the keyboard shortcut but I'd say, why is the delay
happening? Here's a guide for getting better shutdown time information
in the journal.
https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/#index2h1

And then 'sudo reboot -f' will do an abrupt reboot that sidesteps systemd.

And yet another way to hand it is to insert this line into
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
KillUserProcesses=yes

When you logout (which happens right after you choose restart from
GUI), this will forcibly kill all the user processes in the login
session. Just be aware it'll kill everything including screen and tmux
sessions when you log out.
