btctl

btctl is a lightweight Bluetooth connection manager.

Run btctl connect to connect to a paired device, or btctl disconnect to disconnect from a connected one. Select the device using the launcher of your choice, and get a notification about the connection status:

Note that this program only manages connections. You need to use another program like bluetoothctl for scanning, pairing, and trusting devices.

Dependencies

• python-dbus to communicate with BlueZ and send notifications.
• fuzzel or another compatible launcher that reads a list of options and writes the chosen option index.

Configuration

You can specify the launcher to use in the configuration file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/btctl/config.toml, for example:

[launcher]
command = ['fuzzel', '--dmenu', '--index', '--auto-select']
