macos volume adjustment with skhd

gistfile1.txt

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
