Since getting the new Apple Aluminium keyboard I’ve wanted to move the volume keys to F13 - F15, but haven’t been able to do it until now.

I use all of the ‘F’ keys so can’t have the volume keys set as F10 - F12. So in System Preferences I’d set it so I had to use the function key (fn) plus the ‘F’ keys to change the volume. fn+F12 to increase the volume, fn+F11 to decrease the volume etc.

Now with these scripts (for adjusting volume) I’ve assigned triggers to them from Quicksilver. I have F13 for decrease volume, F14 for mute & F15 for increase volume. It doesn’t reassign the system volume keys but it does allow you to use the other keys as well as leaving the old keyboard mappings.
