permute

permute

Description:

permute is a program written in python to make per application muting simple on linux. While some WMs may bundle in the ability, I prefer to use i3 which follows UNIX philosophy of "Make each program do one thing well". It is trivial to make a rofi popup if you find yourself using this often.

installation:

Place permute somewhere in your path, such as /usr/local/bin/

Requirements:

• pactl must be installed.
• Requires python2 or python3.
