I late supervene upon my background keyboard with a new one . It is expectant and keys have a just amount of travel , but it lack volume controller keys . It is a mo frustrating to line up the volume every time with the mouse .
So I have check online for keyboard shortcuts for mass controls . To my surprise , there are no default shortcut for volume control . Anyhow , we can create a shortcut on our own . And here is how you’re able to do it .
Create Custom Shortcuts to Adjust Volume Controls
There are two expert ways to create a shortcut for volume control . Both methods work on all Windows versions . Let me bulge out with the promiscuous one among them .
The first method acting is to create a crosscut to spread the bulk control panel so that you could only use arrow key to adapt the volume . As this just opens the Volume Control Panel , you’re able to not volume up or down like a shot with one crosscut .
In the 2nd method acting , we can create a crosscut to volume up , bulk down and wordless . But this is a bit lengthy appendage , but definitely not the difficult one .
Creating a Shortcut to Open Volume Control Panel
1 . To create a shortcut to open up book control instrument panel , right - flick on the desktop > New > shortcut .
2 . And imitate and paste this code in the location option on the tab that appeared and get through on next .
3 . Give a name to your shortcut , by default it is dress to sndvol . I am continuing with the default . Later snap on the finish .
4 . Now you’re able to see this picture on the menage blind .
5 . Right - flick on that ikon and select property .
6 . In the shortcut key section , press any alphabet , number or character , and the shortcut will set to Ctrl + Alt + ‘ Your cutoff ‘ .
7 . And select ‘ Apply ’ and ‘ ok ’ .
Now you’re able to just press your shortcut every clock time to get volume control on the bottom right field . And you’re able to increase or decrease the book using the up and down arrow keys .
Creating a Shortcut for Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute with AutoHotKey
Though the first method acting is soft and works gravid , it just start the volume ascendancy control board which is not really a shortcut to adjust the book .
To create a direct crosscut to adjust the volume , we can use a third - party app like AutoHotkey , travel along the steps on how to set it up
1 . Download the current version ofAutoHotKey software , reach the file and select Custom Installation .
2 . Select 32 second or 64 bit depending on your computer and chatter on next .
3 . contain the tick box beside ‘ impart run with UI admittance to linguistic context menus ‘ option and get across on Install & exit .
4 . Now , the right way - select the screen background > New > AutoHotKey Script .
5 . Then you may see an ikon on the screen background like this .
6 . Right - mouse tap the icon and snap on the edit playscript .
7 . Now you’re able to see a Notepad with some script already write on it . Just ignore it and aim this codification below .
8 . This will create the shortcut win + 8 to volume down , win + 9 to volume up and win+ 0 to muffle .
9 . Or you may even transfer them , just launch the Autohotkey > Usage and Syntax > lean of Keys . Here you’re able to see the keywords to every button for Mouse , Keyboard , Joystick .
10 . employ those keywords and replace the # 8 , # 9 and # 0 in the above code and order it in the notepad and hold open it .
11 . Shortcuts must be working by now . If not , right - press the icon again and press Run Script .
12 . Though the shortcuts are working , they are not part of the system , so every clock time you reboot up , the system will not load up the files and you need to start the book manually .
13 . To make the process automatic , we need to pose this file in the system file cabinet .
14 . pressing Win + radius to open runnel and place this computer code in it . Then click Ok .
15 . It will start the one system pamphlet in the file manager . Just drag and leave out the AutoHotKey file into that folder .
16 . And that ’s it . Now your cutoff will be loaded every time right on from the system of rules reboot up for you to use .
These crosscut will show you the native windows shortcuts , rather of create a raw dialog box like the first method .
