Alfred Media Keys

I recently purchased a 1989 Apple Extended Keyboard (M3501).

I love this keyboard, but one thing really urked me; the loss of the media control keys for altering volume, skipping tracks, play, pause, etc.

As it turns out, my clever friend @caius had already solved this problem using AppleScripts triggered by a handy app called FastScripts. His repo can be found here

Already a huge fan of Alfred, and keen to avoid another dependency on my machine, I've created an Alfred Workflow that binds the F7-F12 keys to appropriate AppleScripts. No FastScripts required.

This should work with any PC keyboard, as well as Vintage apple hardware, to retrofit the media control keys.

Requirements:

• Alfred (and its PowerPack)

Installation

Simply download Alfred-Media-Keys.alfredworkflow and open the file. Alfred should import it automatically.
