Quit Menu

Wouldn't it much easier if it would quit as soon as I pressed 'y' instead of having to type 'y' and then press enter?

I suppose, and it can be implemented, but I've designed it that way to prevent accidentally quitting the application. I think pressing y+Enter provides a somewhat more (granular?) control over the quitting process, compared to just pressing y. I'm open to changing this though.

I think just y would be fine as the person is already pressing q because he wishes to quit. To prevent accidental quitting maybe you can make the prompt like Quit (y/N) ? so if the person presses anything other than y, N is taken as default so it doesn't quit and it only quits if y is pressed.

I'll consider implementing this

+1, I'd be fine with disabling the quit confirmation altogether

Ok, this will be implemented in the next release.

Disabling the quit confirmation is somewhat "dangerous" in my opinion. For example, if you are running a send/receive file transfer, and you accidentally press Q, the file will be corrupted, various crashes/errors will occur either on bluez, or the bluetooth stack on the other device where you initiated the transfer, since the bluetooth agent wasn't properly terminated.

How about adding Shift+Q i.e. big Q as instant quit option? This is easy to type but hardly happens accidentally.

[darkhz]

@xeruf interesting opinion. @arghyadipchak will this suffice? I think this suggestion is good, since pressing Shift+Q would be slightly faster and less tedious than typing q+y.

Faster quitting is definitely a feature I would greatly appreciate. I think shift+q is a valid choice.

For example, if you are running a send/receive file transfer, and you accidentally press Q

Just to give some context, personally, I use bluetuith as comfortable interface to scan, pair and connect devices. It opens when I click on the bluetooth icon in my waybar (and I would love to be able to quit quickly after connecting). I hadn't a use case for the transfer feature yet. Thanks for developing such a great tool. :+1:
