Add bluetooth waybar module #127

Closed FilippoBonazziSUSE closed 5 months ago

FilippoBonazziSUSE commented 8 months ago

This is my waybar bluetooth module I've had forever.

Features:

color coded: neutral color when on but disconnected, greyed out when disabled, green (with number of connected devices) when connected
tooltip shows controller address (not too useful but it's there), connection status, and number of connected devices if any
left click toggles bluetooth on/off
right click opens a terminal with bluetoothctl (could use some improvement on e.g. opening $TERM instead of fixed alacritty)

Nice feature :-) May I suggest to use bluetuith (bluetuith is packaged) instead of bluetoothctl "on-click-right": "exec alacritty -e sh -c 'bluetuith'"

@taschenlampe : I don't use bluetuith, is it better?

taschenlampe commented 5 months ago

@FilippoBonazziSUSE I use bluetuith on a daily basis, so my opinion is biased, I guess. ;-) That said: I would'nt call it "better" than bluetoothctl but IMHO bluetuith is way more comfortable as it is a terminal-ui for bluetoothctl. Let's say it like that: one does not need to read a how-to to scan/use/connect/pair/... bt-devices when using bluetuith.

OK, merging this. Switch to bluetuith later if it worth it
