As a beginner, this is too much for me but I finally created my volume notification

An awesome video, teaching me how to make a sound notification, but also anything like that. Now I can convert my ideas into scripts with dunst!

cool video, it helped me after a long time of not using dunst, coming back to it was a bit confusing so this helped refresh my mind :) For me notify-send wasn't available because I didn't have the libnotify package installed, looks like it's not installed by default.

are you using colorizer in neovim for the square color previews instead of background color?

Awesome video, as always. I'm going from KDE to BSPWM and you're my biggest guide until now.
With your tips and Volume script, I could make one to control my microphone volume, even selecting between my Headset and my Laptop's one.

The only problem I got is, when I start a session, both scripts (volume and mic ones) doesn't work from my hotkeys (commands are OK), but when I restart sxhkd, it start working, still trying to figure out why, since every other hotkey works as soon as I log in.
