- awful.util.spawn("amixer sset " .. volume.channel .. " " .. volume.step .. "+")
- volume.notify()
- end),
- awful.key({ altkey }, "Down",
- function ()
- awful.util.spawn("amixer sset " .. volume.channel .. " " .. volume.step .. "-")
- volume.notify()
- end),
- awful.key({ altkey }, "m",
- function ()
- awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master playback toggle")
- volume.notify()
- end),
- awful.key({ altkey, "Control" }, "m",
- function ()
- awful.util.spawn("amixer set Master playback 100%", false )
- volume.notify()
- end),
