Bluetui
bluetui is a text-based user interface for managing Bluetooth devices and adapters. It serves as a terminal application that interfaces with the BlueZ stack to control wireless radio hardware and connection states.
The project provides a keyboard-driven controller for scanning for nearby discoverable hardware and establishing secure pairings with new peripherals. It allows for the management of paired devices, including the configuration of trust settings and the assignment of custom nicknames to simplify reconnection.
The application includes capabilities for Bluetooth adapter control to toggle power, pairing, and discovery modes. It also supports custom keyboard input mappings via configuration files to trigger specific internal actions and interface behaviors.
