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.
