Installation

From AUR

yay -S dmenu-bluetooth

Manually

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

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Layerex/dmenu-bluetooth/master/dmenu-bluetooth"
install dmenu-bluetooth /usr/local/bin

Usage

usage: dmenu-bluetooth [--help] [--status] [--connected-icon [ICON]] [PROMPT] DMENU_ARGS...

A script that generates a dmenu menu that uses bluetoothctl to connect to bluetooth devices and display status info.

positional arguments:
  PROMPT                    dmenu prompt
  DMENU_ARGS...             arguments passed to dmenu

options:
--help                      show this help message and exit
--status                    print a short string about current bluetooth status and exit
--connected-icon [ICON]     add icon on device list next to connected devices

environment variables:
  DMENU_BLUETOOTH_PROMPT    dmenu prompt
  DMENU_BLUETOOTH_LAUNCHER  command to use instead of 'dmenu'

Positional arguments have to be placed after all other arguments.
A PROMPT positional argument will be interpreted as part of DMENU_ARGS if it starts with '-'. It won't be parsed if the DMENU_BLUETOOTH_PROMPT environment variable is set.
Use the DMENU_BLUETOOTH_LAUNCHER environment variable to use launchers other than dmenu. Rofi, fuzzel, and any dmenu-compatible launchers are supported.

Polybar configuration

NOTE: In order to properly display the bluetooth icon, you will need to use an iconic font in your bar, e.g. Nerd Fonts

[module/bluetooth]
type = custom/script
exec = dmenu-bluetooth --status
interval = 1
click-left = dmenu-bluetooth &

i3 keybinding

bindsym $mod+b exec --no-startup-id dmenu-bluetooth
