1 - Create a plain text file whose contents is "volume: -10" (without the quotes and with -10 replaced with the actual volume value you want).

2 - Name the file something like "___Volume.cfg" (again without the quotes) so that it will appear as the first item in the directory where it resides, and place the file in the directory that your type:browse shortcut points to.

Then when you use your type:browse shortcut it will place you in your specified directory with the .cfg file selected, and you'll just have to click the select button to set the volume.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think this will work for me because my current shortcut opens the directory then a second click opens the bookmarked file in that directory. Is there a way to have a shortcut open a bookmark with a single click?

I only briefly once looked into bookmarks and I'm not at all familiar with using them.  I think you need to spend some time with the Rockbox User Manual to find what you need.

Being able to set the volume with a shortcut is great. I even added a shutdown shortcut which makes powering down faster. Rockbox is awesome! Many thanks and much gratitude to everyone who works on the project!
