Allow controlling multiple Bluetooth adapters #21

Closed acerspyro closed 6 months ago

This is an extension of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2882

It's possible you're using the same backend as GNOME CC and would face the same limitations, but it would be useful to have if it is possible.

Original issue

I just discovered that the Wi-Fi section now lets you select which adapter you would like to interact with:

It's a very nice feature, and I'd like to see the same thing for Bluetooth adapters.

I have an AX210 chipset that does both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It works very well, but it has a bug with wireless Xbox controllers, so I have to instead use an ASUS USB-BT500 adapter for these devices.

It's currently impossible to interact with one adapter when the other is displayed in Settings unless I unplug the currently displayed adapter.

(I had the AX210 and the BT500 connected when I took the screenshot).

thats already implemented tho? check the Bluetooth Settings page on a recent build of overskride. it has that option built in (but reads info from each adapter so devices connected on one adapter wont show as connected on the second)

Oh damn I'm blind, thank you!

I do think it would be more visible as tabs rather than under Bluetooth Settings though. We can close this issue and open a new one if you're open to that idea :)
