I like how each function is contained in an individual plugin file. I can install (create a local script) which plugins I want without needing to install them all. Even if you do not want to install any of the code, it shows you the command line needed in OS X.

The volume plugin has a more fine-grained control for adjusting the volume. The keyboard based function keys will increase/decrease the volume by 6/7. Now I can increase by smaller increments. Excellent.

You can use Alt+Shift+VolumeUp/Down to change volume by quarters of an increment.
Karabiner allows you to change the default behavior of the volume keys to use quarter steps with the "Fine grained volume controls" option (it simply adds the alt+shift for you). Very useful with headphones that are too sensitive. https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
As an aside, holding down the option key on your Mac while adjusting the volume will do it in much smaller increments.
