Nice work. Ive also build a TUI over blueutil (https://github.com/toy/blueutil) for MacOs:
https://github.com/Zaloog/blueutil-tui
Its written in python using the textual framework and displays the connections inline in your Terminal.
I don't usually comment on these things. But this is phenomenal. I really like that the person that did this thought about a simple space for connect and enter for disconnect. I use rofi based tool whenever I don't feel like using my mouse and frequently disconnect because I toggled something that was already connecting.
The same happens when connecting or disconnecting from VPN using the nm applet. This is a simple but extremely useful way of separating two states.
Used this the other day when for whatever reason Gnome's built-in bluetooth GUI refused to connect to my headphones. Very nice and easy to use.
I wonder why omarchy isn't using this yet.
I found out: it used to be a lot less intuitive
Why not show the device address? There's plenty of room for it and it's important when you have multiple devices with the same name. Or has the abominable trend of excess whitespace infected TUIs too?
Much better than bluetuith which has weirdly bad UI/keybindings.
does TUI stand for terminal user interface ?
My understanding is T for text-based [1], the term is used about e.g. DOS programs too where the text interface is not historically called a terminal.

Yes. The term has been around for at least a few decades, but only became somewhat more widely used in the past decade. Only really known by people who spend a lot of time on the command line.
Not to be confused with CLI, which is literally for people who spend a lot of time on the Command Line :)
Yet another impressive rust/ratatui tool! I am really a fan of those projects (kudos to Orhun). At Copper Robotics we use it for our monitoring console, it is so easy to just ssh on a robot and get all your monitoring state in super snappy TUI screens instead of web stuff.
