Description

I set up a keybind for a custom volume scale change in the Keyboard shortcuts menu (pactl set-sink-volume etc), but I'd like to have the current audio volume displayed.
So I'm wondering what's the command executed by the "Volume down/up" shortcut as I couldn't find it in a dconf dump, only volume-down / volume-up.

Research direction

Start with Cinnamon's Keyboard shortcuts menu and the Volume down/up shortcut entries; compare their behavior with the pactl command and the volume-down/volume-up dconf keys. Done means identifying and documenting the command or mechanism that displays the current volume.
