(keyboard) Map DIFFERENT keys to control volume

[jasfa131]

I spilled a bit of drink on my Aluminum Apple Keyboard, and now the F12 (volume +) key doesn't work. The F10 (mute) and F11 (volume -) still work, so, is there a way to do THIS:

Re-map the keys so that,

F10 is now Volume Decrease
and
F11 is now Volume Increase

Thanx!

Ugh! This is something I spent a lot of time on years ago when I started using a non-Apple keyboard. I found no tools that would actually let me remap the keys. I only found ONE macro program that offered volume control with the standard visual notification. That was iKey. $30 may be a bit steep if all you want is that, though, and I haven't personally used iKey in several versions.

For a while I used Butler. I like to use Butler when possible because A) It's free, and B) I already use it for so many things and it's nice not to need to install yet another little utility. You can use it to set a keyboard shortcut for any AppleScript, and you can control the volume via AppleScript like this:

Volume up:

set new_vol to the (output volume of (get volume settings)) + 6
set volume output volume new_vol

Volume down:

set new_vol to the (output volume of (get volume settings)) - 6
set volume output volume new_vol

Unfortunately this will not give you any visual notification.

I got iKey's trial version, and I can't get the F10 and F11 keys to work. I set up volume up and down, but the "hotkeys" aren't working to change the volume.
