Keyboard for Volume Up Down should obey VolStep INI setting

[robertcollier4]

I map keyboard shortcuts "Up" and "Down" arrow to "DSP - Volume Up" and "DSP - Volume down".

Currently when I push Up or Down there is a a volume step of 2 in linear mode.

I would like the ability to set the volume more precise - 1 percent or even 0.5 percent or 0.2 percent. This helps for slow volume changes also such as when in a DJ presenting situation. If less than 1 percent is not possible, then even 1 percent is fine and is twice as better as 2 percent.

I noticed there is a VolStep INI setting but that only works for the mousewheel.
Any chance we could get VolStep for the keyboard as well?

Internally, the volume slider (and its XMPLAY.INI setting) only has 100 steps, so 1% increments would be the smallest possible change. Here's an update that adds the ability to set the keyboard shortcut's step size in a "VolStepKey" XMPLAY.INI entry:

If it still isn't quite working as wanted, have you tried enabling logarithmic mode? I think that usually works better, with a consistent audible difference between each step.

I set VolStepKey=1

Works perfectly. In linear mode I am now getting 1% keyboard movement and in logarithmic mode I am getting 0.4 dB keyboard movement.

Thanks!
