LineageOS 16 set volume keys to adjust ringer by default - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I have a OnePlus 3T, and recently updated it to LineageOS 16, from 15.1 - however I imagine this applies to any device with LineageOS 16.
I realise that Android 9 has changed the default behaviour of the volume keys, to adjust the media volume by default. Whilst I can appreciate that some users might find this useful, I much preferred the ringer volume being changed by default and the media volume changing when media was being played. It seems like now there is no way to change the ringer volume using the hardware keys.
Is there any way to undo this change in defaults and make the volume keys adjust the ringer volume by default? Or at the very least, stop the ringtone from playing when I change volume from the "Sound" setting menu? Typically when I am changing the ringer volume I'm trying to reduce the amount of noise I might make, but Android chimes by playing my ringtone, which is very annoying.

Hello there,
Would it be possible to set the hardware +/- volume buttons so that they change CM7's profiles instead of just increasing/decreasing the ringer volume?
Cheers

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What about if you use Tasker to make a script that first adjusts media volume and then launches the app?

[Q] How to lock the volume?

Hello all,
So I have been a long-time Cyanogenmod user, and I wanted to switch things up a little bit, so I installed the latest Paranoid Android on my Nexus 4. On CM, I had the option in settings to have the volume rocker only control media volume, and not the Ringtone Volume, is this possible in Paranoid Android? So that like if I'm at the homescreen and i press volume down/up it will change the "media" volume, not the "ringtone" volume.
Cheers

[Q] Req: app using volume buttons to control volume profiles

Hello, I have searched for this for some time now, but I cannot find any app to do it:
I want to use the volume buttons to change volume profiles.
This way I can create these profiles:
- Silent
- Vibrate
- Soft (ringer, notifications and media)
- Normal (ringer, notifications and media to a 'normal' volume)
- loud (all volume channels a bit louder)
- max (all volume channels louder, some on max)
Changing should not cycle, zo when pressing the Volume+ several times the 'max' profile is chosen and keeps chosen.
Who knows an app that can do this?
Anybody that knows an app or softmod which can do this?
I only see apps with shortcuts on the desktop or from notification bar, but redirecting the volume buttons like this is nowhere to be seen...
There's a defect issue for Android with a request to force the buttons to change a specific volume channel, but that's still something different.
I would love to know how Tasker can use the buttons immediately, without only noticing the volume chance of channels. This way I can make my own tasker task with the volume button up and down.
Currently I am investigating 'Quick click' (downloadable from app store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blor.quickclickgold)
It at least looks promising - the rest can be done via Tasker, I think
