i'll assume you're using the litestep installer 3.x, which uses jKey as the hotkey module.

if you get an app like scankey [ http://www.shellfront.org/utils/scankey.zip ], you can see the key codes each key on your keyboard sends.

then it's just a matter of editing the vk104.txt file in your $personal$\jkey\ directory, and adding a few new definitions.

On mine, i've added 2 entries
VOLUP , AF
VOLDOWN , AE


yours might be different though.

then, it's just a matter of getting a good volume module [ http://www.shellfront.org/modules/v_bang-1.98.zip ] and adding a loadmodule entry to your personal.rc file, and adding some hotkey definitions to hotkey.rc

*hotkey .none VOLUP !Volume_Up [0]
*hotkey .none VOLDOWN !Volume_down [0]
