Lack of small but important feature

Imagine that you have just spend hours with your amiga in your computer room.

Your wife ask something for you, maybe she has already done that several times but you didn't hear that. She starts to be pit annoyed, you have left her alone for hours and don't bother to answer to her...

You start to think to way reduce sound volume and realice that fastest way to do that is power of you machine. :( Sometimes peace is matter of seconds ;)

There is no way to controll sound volume from Workbench, with single click.

So I did some digging and found this :

I didn't work :( Docky would be best solution.

This is true story :)

Mixer has an Arexx interface

Of course it works - since ages here with all my OS 4.1 setups!

Need to try again, most likely I didn't copy them to dockys folder, just tried to put them directly to Amidok.

I use AllKeys and Mixer's ARexx interface to control the volume via the volume keys on my keyboard.

Actually I don't. I use the volume knob on the speakers, but as I have more than one thing attached to the speakers sometimes I use the keys to reduce the Amiga's sound.

I get it work :)

Funny that HunoPPC had released his OSDLauncher today, exactly what you need.

Yes, almost like conspiracy ;)
