Suggestion for volume shortcuts: function keys & volume steps #9

Open bhopmann opened 8 years ago

bhopmann commented 8 years ago

First of all, thank you very much for this application!

It would be nice, if the function keys (e.g. the three volume keys on F9-F12) could be used for assigning volume shortcuts in neptunes by adding a modifier like cmd. Currently it's not possible to select them.

Also it would be nice, if the volume steps (currently 10 steps) would be more precise.

Thank you very much, Benedikt

Hi @stratmaster Somehow I didn't notice your issue. How many steps would be precise enough for you?:)

rurza commented 8 years ago

btw, you can assign F9 to F12 with modifier key. But... by default those keys are visible as a "special feature" keys so you can: a) Change this behavior in System Preferences. screen shot 2016-04-29 at 13 49 24 b) or set them by holding "fn" key: screen shot 2016-04-29 at 13 50 49

I don't know any other way :(

Hey,

thank you very much for your replay. E.g. this tool (https://github.com/alberti42/iTunes-Volume-Control) is able to use ⌘ as a modifier for controlling the apple function keys for volume & mute. Even though I do not know, how it is implemented there, it seems to be much more comfortable. The reason I didn't want to use it is, to install such apps as little as possible.

And: 16 until 18 steps would be precise I think, for example :-)

Any news, if this suggestion will be implemented?

I didn't spent a lot of time on this one but function keys would be great addition (if it's possible in sandboxed environment)
