Hello Lemmy,
Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager for Linux, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:
-
Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the ‘Info’ option in the menu or by clicking the ‘i’ key.
-
Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.
-
Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.
-
Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device
-
Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls.
This release contains the following new features:
-
Adapter status display, which will dynamically show whether the adapter is in any of the powered/discoverable/pairable/scanning states
-
A HJSON based configuration format, with customizable keybindings and optional config file generation
-
Popup resize and mouse-handling improvements. Each popup can now be closed by pressing the ‘X’ button
I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.
I’ve been using this for several months and I really like it. I have absolutely no idea how to close it though, so I have to kill the terminal.

You can press ‘q’ to quit :)
Wow, interesting. For some reason q doesn’t do anything for me.
Edit: Ok Q (capitalized) does work. I wonder if this is a documentation error.
Edit Edit: Yes it was https://github.com/darkhz/bluetuith/issues/27
Ah, I apologize for not documenting the quit key correctly.
The quit keybinding has been an issue (albeit a very silly one), which could be easily corrected, but somehow escapes my attention during the release phase. I will correct the documentation.
Do note that since the keybindings are customisable, you can modify the quit behavior to a keybinding of your choice. See the “Configuration” section of the documentation for more details.
