I was looking at the settings found in Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Sound and Media
, I noticed that, while there was an option for Volume up
and Volume down
, there wasn’t any settings like this for microphone adjustment (aside from toggling mute). Does there happen to be a reason this doesn’t exist? I could make a custom shortcut with something like amixer set Capture 10%+
(in my case), but it doesn’t have the pop-up bar showing the adjustment like Volume up
does (I like pretty things ).
Does there happen to be a reason this doesn’t exist?
My guess is:
Volume-up, volume-down, volume-mute and mic-mute often exist as special keys on keyboards, and therefore have dedicated keysyms (XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume
, XF86XK_AudioMute
and XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume
).
The same doesn’t apply to raising/lowering the microphone volume.
It’s probably still worth filing an enhancement request (maybe suggesting <shift>XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume
?). At the very least, you may get a reply from someone who isn’t guessing
This makes sense. If no one else replies today with more information, I’ll go ahead and fill that out.
