yaourt is deprecated for real by now, yay is often recommended instead (I use it myself, and it works; shell completion is present).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Comparison_tables for actual ones.

Ah thanks. And wow, yeah, yaourt isn't even listed there any more! I'll check out yay.

yay's top contributor Morganamilo is Arch trusted user, so it's like a seal of approval and look no further for me. Should be a drop-in replacement for yauort in this parsticular script and in general.

One more thing I had on my mind after reading your latest blog post.

I very much miss the dedicated volume keys on the ThinkPad. I want to be able to adjust the volume quickly and without looking. Having to use the Fn key does not make that easy. I may wind up just adding some new keybinding for this to work around it.

I also use xbindkeys for hotkeys and for sound I quite like to use Ctrl + Up/Down for global sound control. Really fast and easy. Also, what can be more logical than controlling volume level up and down with Control + Up/Down? 😃

Ctrl + Alt + Up/Down for music player volume control. If it's MPRIS-compatible, then playerctl is a a good helper. Relevant part of my xbindkeysrc:

# ALSA
"amixer -q set Master 5%+"
  control + Up
"amixer -q set Master 5%-"
  control + Down

# Pulse Audio (volume can exceed 100%, so it sucks)
# "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%" # isn't limited to 100%, watch out
#   control + Up
# "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%"
#   control + Down

# Music player
"playerctl play-pause"
  control + alt + space
"playerctl next"
  control + alt + Right
"playerctl previous"
  control + alt + Left
"playerctl volume 0.05+"
  control + alt + Up
"playerctl volume 0.05-"
  control + alt + Down

Hope it helps in a way.

Great! Thanks for the ping again. I was finally moved to switch to yay. Overall very happy. I love its diff options.

I've updated this script to use yay as well, so that others passing by will not be inclined to use yaourt just because I hadn't updated yet.

As for volume, I had settled on Super + Tab for volume up and Super + Shift + Tab for volume down and Super + Grave for mute toggle. Not a huge fan. I added your control options as well, and we'll see how it goes. :-)

Also, for changing volume, I use i3-volume. I don't use i3, and despite its name, it works just fine with any WM. (I actually use my own patched version of it that makes it work a little nicer with dunst, and plays a "ding" sound any time the volume changes.)
