Hi guys, I found the aumix volume shortcuts that come with antix don't work, as I don't have (or want) aumix installed, so I thought I'd update them.

I have:

key"Alt+Ctrl+j" amixer -c 0 set Master 5- # lower volume
key"Alt+Ctrl+k" amixer -c 0 set Master 5+ # raise volume
key"Alt+Ctrl+m" amixer sset Master toggle # mute on/off

Very handy.

Just add them by opening the antixcc menu, and put the above shortcuts in under the 'keys' tab.

In M11 Base I didn't have a keys tab in the Control Center. To add these keys via a gui run add-key from a Terminal.

Alternatively for Fluxbox:

Code: Select all

nano ~/.fluxbox/keys
& add:

Code: Select all

# Decrease Volume
Mod1 Control j :Exec amixer -c 0 set Master 5-
# Raise Volume
Mod1 Control k :Exec amixer -c 0 set Master 5+
# Mute Volume
Mod1 Control m :Exec amixer sset Master toggle

Ah, good one tradetaxfree. Sorry, I should have mentioned that the shortcuts were for Icewm. Thanks for the translation.

If I do start using fluxbox I'll definately make use of them. Cheers __{{emoticon}}__ .
