more from my linux i3wm -> macos conversion. | |
very used to being able to adjust my volume up and down or muted with a keystroke. | |
Note - using a standard generic keyboard, not an Apple keyboard, no special multimedia keys | |
2 bash scripts - could possibly combine them into one, but later ... | |
First to change the volume up and down. | |
~ cat bin/change_volume | |
#!/bin/bash | |
if [ "$2" != "" ]; then | |
count=$2 | |
else | |
count=5 | |
fi | |
current_vol=$(osascript -e 'output volume of (get volume settings)') | |
if [ "$1" == "up" ]; then | |
((current_vol=current_vol+$count)) | |
else | |
((current_vol=current_vol-$count)) | |
fi | |
osascript -e "set volume output volume $current_vol" | |
second - just checks to see if we're currently muted / unmuted and toggles the other way | |
~ cat bin/mute_unmute | |
#!/bin/bash | |
current=$(osascript -e "output muted of (get volume settings)") | |
if [ "$current" == "true" ]; then | |
osascript -e "set volume without output muted" | |
else | |
osascript -e "set volume with output muted" | |
fi | |
