yay's top contributor Morganamilo is Arch trusted user, so it's like a seal of approval and look no further for me. Should be a drop-in replacement for yauort in this parsticular script and in general.

One more thing I had on my mind after reading your latest blog post.

I very much miss the dedicated volume keys on the ThinkPad. I want to be able to adjust the volume quickly and without looking. Having to use the Fn key does not make that easy. I may wind up just adding some new keybinding for this to work around it.

I also use xbindkeys for hotkeys and for sound I quite like to use Ctrl + Up/Down for global sound control. Really fast and easy. Also, what can be more logical than controlling volume level up and down with Control + Up/Down? 😃

Ctrl + Alt + Up/Down for music player volume control. If it's MPRIS-compatible, then playerctl is a a good helper. Relevant part of my xbindkeysrc:

# ALSA
"amixer -q set Master 5%+"
  control + Up
"amixer -q set Master 5%-"
  control + Down

# Pulse Audio (volume can exceed 100%, so it sucks)
# "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%" # isn't limited to 100%, watch out
#   control + Up
# "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%"
#   control + Down

# Music player
"playerctl play-pause"
  control + alt + space
"playerctl next"
  control + alt + Right
"playerctl previous"
  control + alt + Left
"playerctl volume 0.05+"
  control + alt + Up
"playerctl volume 0.05-"
  control + alt + Down

Hope it helps in a way.

Great! Thanks for the ping again. I was finally moved to switch to yay. Overall very happy. I love its diff options.

I've updated this script to use yay as well, so that others passing by will not be inclined to use yaourt just because I hadn't updated yet.

As for volume, I had settled on Super + Tab for volume up and Super + Shift + Tab for volume down and Super + Grave for mute toggle. Not a huge fan. I added your control options as well, and we'll see how it goes. :-)

Also, for changing volume, I use i3-volume. I don't use i3, and despite its name, it works just fine with any WM. (I actually use my own patched version of it that makes it work a little nicer with dunst, and plays a "ding" sound any time the volume changes.)
