### Key Bindings

|
#### Awesomewm
|
||||||
|
Here is an example of how keybindings would look like in awesomewm (tested)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```lua
|
||||||
|
---- Volume Management
|
||||||
|
awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioMute",
|
||||||
|
function ()
|
||||||
|
awful.spawn("volumectl -t")
|
||||||
|
end,
|
||||||
|
{description = "Toggle mute", group = "Media management"}),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioMute",
|
||||||
|
function ()
|
||||||
|
awful.spawn("volumectl -m")
|
||||||
|
end,

awful.key({ }, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume",

awful.key({ "Shift" }, "XF86AudioLowerVolume",

Here is an example of how keybindings would look like in awesomewm (**NOT TESTED**, please tell me if it's wrong)
|

You can see what all the available config variables are by looking at the

|

|
|

|
The easiest way to go to setup a custom config is by running the following commands
|
||||||
|
```console
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/volumectl
|
||||||
|
cp $HOME/.local/lib/volumectl/example_config.ini ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/volumectl/config.ini
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
and then editing the config with your prefered editor and tinker with it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quick tip: when tinkering with the config, be sure to use `volumectl -v` (it's
|
||||||
|
important to put the `-v` right after the command, so that you see everything
|
||||||
|
that's happening) so that you see what the values are for the variables and
|
||||||
|
will be able to spot where your error is, if there is any.
