Awesome Volume Control

This is a very simple module with lua language that controls volume in Awesome window manager.
I created and used this modeule on Arch Linux.

Installation and Usage

1. Clone your project inside ~/.config/awesome (i.e. in the same directory with rc.lua)

cd ~/.config/awesome
git clone https://github.com/IbrahimElsayed26498/volume-control

2. Inside rc.lua In the beginning of the file write:

local volume = require("volume-control.volume")

3. Inside (Right Widget) area call volume.getwidget

s.mywibox:setup {
        layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
        { -- Left widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            mylauncher,
            s.mytaglist,
            s.mypromptbox,
        },
        s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
        { -- Right widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            volume.getwidget(), -- Add this line here
            mykeyboardlayout,
            mytextclock,
            -- s.mylayoutbox,
        },
    }

After previous steps, you have the volume value in you title bar.

4. Let's make the keys works to make the volume up, down and mute/unmute
   We are still inside rc.lua
   In key binding area add.

   -- Volume
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume", function() volume.up() end,
             {description = "volume up", group = "volume"}),
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioLowerVolume", function() volume.down() end,
             {description = "volume down", group = "volume"}),
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioMute", function() volume.toggle() end,
             {descriptoin = "mute / unmute", group = "volume"})

Now save the file and reload awesome window manager.

You can use or modify it. Thank you. :)
