How to continuously adjust volume?

[moetayuko]

Currently, the volume applet closes right after an action is applied. This is fine and desired for mute/settings, but not for vol+/-. One may need to adjust the volume for multiple steps and manually close the applet when it's done.

Hi, maybe it's too late but I modified this part of the volume.sh script so it reopens itself when changing the volume.

# Execute Command
run_cmd() {
    if [[ "$1" == '--opt1' ]]; then
        amixer -Mq set Master,0 5%+ unmute
                ./volume.sh    # Reopen
    elif [[ "$1" == '--opt2' ]]; then
        amixer set Master toggle
    elif [[ "$1" == '--opt3' ]]; then
        amixer -Mq set Master,0 5%- unmute
                ./volume.sh    # Reopen... Again.
    elif [[ "$1" == '--opt4' ]]; then
        amixer set Capture toggle
    elif [[ "$1" == '--opt5' ]]; then
        pavucontrol
    fi
}

Anyways, it's not perfect because if you want to decrease the volume, you have to go down again.

I know this is an old issue but i did it like this. I modified the script a little bit. This also remembers the last pressed option

arg="0"

while [[ "$arg" == 0 || "$arg" == 2 ]]; do
    chosen="$(run_rofi $arg)"
    # Exit if Cancel is pressed
    if [[ "$chosen" == "" ]]; then
        exit
    fi
    case ${chosen} in
        $option_1)
            run_cmd --opt1
            arg=0
            ;;
        $option_2)
            run_cmd --opt2
            arg=1
            ;;
        $option_3)
            run_cmd --opt3
            arg=2
            ;;
        $option_4)
            run_cmd --opt4
            arg=3
            ;;
        $option_5)
            run_cmd --opt5
            arg=4
            ;;
    esac
done

run_rofi and run_cmd also needs an argument passed

rofi_cmd() {
    rofi -theme-str "window {width: $win_width;}" \
        -theme-str "listview {columns: $list_col; lines: $list_row;}" \
        -theme-str 'textbox-prompt-colon {str: "";}' \
        -dmenu \
        -p "$prompt" \
        -mesg "$mesg" \
        ${active} ${urgent} \
        -selected-row "$1" \
        -markup-rows \
        -theme ${theme}
}

# Pass variables to rofi dmenu
run_rofi() {
    echo -e "$option_1\n$option_2\n$option_3\n$option_4\n$option_5" | rofi_cmd "$1"
}

I basically just added selected_row $1 to rofi_cmd for it to remember the last position and just looped run_rofi

Oh yeah, I did that too but forgot to share the code. Thanks!
