From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PulseAudio hotkeys script (github.com)

I've been using volumeicon for a long time, to enable the audio hotkeys on my laptop. But the problem is that if you plug in a USB or bluetooth headset, it doesn't automatically switch to it as the default. You'd have to kill the service and restart it.

So I wrote a script that can offer me all the same functionality, and just mapped my audio hotkeys in my WM.

Thought someone might find the source useful.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. It seems a long standing issue: https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon/issues/49

I figured if I could eliminate the middle man in under 55 lines I may as well. I'll always jump at the opportunity to reduce my package reliance.
