A terminal-based Bluetooth manager for Linux

Hello Lemmy,

Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager for Linux, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:

  • Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the ‘Info’ option in the menu or by clicking the ‘i’ key.

  • Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.

  • Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.

  • Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device

  • Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls.

This release contains the following new features:

  • Adapter status display, which will dynamically show whether the adapter is in any of the powered/discoverable/pairable/scanning states

  • A HJSON based configuration format, with customizable keybindings and optional config file generation

  • Popup resize and mouse-handling improvements. Each popup can now be closed by pressing the ‘X’ button

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

    I’ve been using this for several months and I really like it. I have absolutely no idea how to close it though, so I have to kill the terminal.

      Ah, I apologize for not documenting the quit key correctly.

      The quit keybinding has been an issue (albeit a very silly one), which could be easily corrected, but somehow escapes my attention during the release phase. I will correct the documentation.

      Do note that since the keybindings are customisable, you can modify the quit behavior to a keybinding of your choice. See the “Configuration” section of the documentation for more details.
