macos - OSX Remap decrease volume key

I recently managed to spill some tea on my Apple keyboard. After letting it dry out, the only damage done was the loss of the F11 / decrease volume key.

While certainly cheaper than losing the whole thing, it is pretty annoying to be able to increase volume with the key, and having to use the mouse to decrease it.

Any way to remap the decrease volume function to, say, cmd + F12?

Thanks in advance!
