Fork Changes Compared to Layerex Version

• Rewritten for easier use as a status bar element for dwmblocks-async or similar programs.
• Fixed and made the status functionality default.
• Status now displays device battery state in addition to the alias.
• Input arguments are replaced with the environment variable BLOCK_BUTTON to control the script.
• Code is greatly simplified while maintaining similar functionality.
• Some effort was put into optimizing the script by reducing unnecessary calls to bluetoothctl.

dmenu-bluetooth

bluetoothctl rofi dmenu

Installation

Manually

Install dependencies: dmenu and bluetoothctl (provided by bluez-utils in Arch)

Usage

• Run dmenu-bluetooth without anything else to get device status (bluetooth icon + alias and battery percent for each connected device)
• Run BLOCK_BUTTON=1 dmenu-bluetooth to be prompted with the menu
• Edit prompt function to change display options or the whole menu program

NOTE: In order to properly display the bluetooth icon, you will need to use an iconic font in your bar, e.g. Nerd Fonts. You can even use nerd fonts as a device alias for more compact status output.

Thanks for the inspiration!
