Volume Keyboard Shortcut

[cdf3]

I noticed that the TypeCover 2 has a keyboard shortcut for Muting the Volume, but I haven't found a keyboard shortcut for turning the Volume up and down. Sometimes I hate having to reach up and adjust the manual Volume buttons. The closest I've found is Windows Key + I, which then allows me to tap on the Volume Icon, then adjust. Some people mentioned using Fn + Arrow Key up and down that works with their laptops. This doesn't work on the Surface Pro.
Any other quick methods of adjusting the Volume?

I don't think it's possible with the keyboard as is.

Ever try this?

I have used it for other stuff, but never for remapping keys, I am not a programmer, but maybe it's possible.

Something else I found that might help you out if you take the autohotkey approach:

Sounds interesting, but it seems as though the saved .ahk file must be open in order for it to work.

This app uses the screen and not the keyboard

It's awesome, I use 3 fingers drag right to increase the volume and left to decrease. Its has a bunch of options too. Hope it solves your problem

Wow, this app is awesome!
Thanks for the suggestion.
They had popular suggestions, but I created my own gestures for Volume and Brightness up and down.
I also created a 4 finger pinch in to close apps. This helps when going back and forth between my Surface Pro and iPad. I can keep the gestures consistent.
