waybar - bluetooth module

DESCRIPTION

The bluetooth module displays information about a bluetooth controller and its connections.

CONFIGURATION

Addressed by bluetooth

controller :

		typeof: string
		Use the controller with the defined alias. Otherwise, a random controller is used. Recommended to define when there is more than 1 controller available to the system.

format-device-preference :

	typeof: array
	A ranking of bluetooth devices, addressed by their alias. The order is from first displayed to last displayed .
	If this config option is not defined or none of the devices in the list are connected, it will fall back to showing the last connected device.

format :

	typeof: string
	default:  {status}
	The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren’t specified.

format-disabled :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is disabled.

format-off :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is turned off.

format-on :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is turned on with no devices connected.

format-connected :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is connected to at least 1 device.

format-no-controller :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when no bluetooth controller can be found

format-icons :

	typeof: array/object
	Based on the current battery percentage (see section EXPERIMENTAL BATTERY PERCENTAGE FEATURE ), the corresponding icon gets selected.
	The order is low to high . Will only show the current battery percentage icon in the *-connected-battery config options.
	Or by the state if it is an object. It will fall back to the enabled state if its derivatives are not defined (on, off, connected).

rotate :

	typeof: integer
	Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).

max-length :

	typeof: integer
	The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length :

	typeof: integer
	The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align :

	typeof: float
	The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify :

	typeof: string
	The alignment of the text within the module’s label, allowing options ’left’, ’right’, or ’center’ to define the positioning.

on-click :

	typeof: string
	Command to execute when clicked on the module.

on-click-middle :

	typeof: string
	Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right :

	typeof: string
	Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-scroll-up :

	typeof: string
	Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

on-scroll-down :

	typeof: string
	Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.

smooth-scrolling-threshold :

	typeof: double
	Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip :

	typeof: bool
	default: true
	Option to disable tooltip on hover.

tooltip-format :

	typeof: string
	The format, how information should be displayed in the tooltip. This format is used when other formats aren’t specified.

tooltip-format-disabled :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is disabled.

tooltip-format-off :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is turned off.

tooltip-format-on :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is turned on with no devices connected.

tooltip-format-connected :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed controller is connected to at least 1 device.

tooltip-format-no-controller :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when no bluetooth controller can be found

tooltip-format-enumerate-connected :

	typeof: string
	This format is used to define how each connected device should be displayed within the device_enumerate format replacement in the tooltip menu.

menu :

	typeof: string
	Action that popups the menu.

menu-file :

	typeof: string
	Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type

GtkMenu with id menu

	Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{status} : Status of the bluetooth device.

{icon} : Icon, as defined in format-icons .

{num_connections} : Number of connections the displayed controller has.

{controller_address} : Address of the displayed controller.

{controller_address_type} : Address type of the displayed controller.

{controller_alias} : Alias of the displayed controller.

{device_address} : Address of the displayed device.

{device_address_type} : Address type of the displayed device.

{device_alias} : Alias of the displayed device.

{device_enumerate} : Show a list of all connected devices, each on a separate line. Define the format of each device with the tooltip-format-enumerate-connected
and/or tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery config options. Can only be used in the tooltip-related format options.

EXPERIMENTAL BATTERY PERCENTAGE FEATURE

At the time of writing, the experimental features of BlueZ need to be turned on, for the battery percentage options listed below to work.

FORMAT REPLACEMENT

{device_battery_percentage} : Battery percentage of the displayed device if available. Use only in the config options defined below.

CONFIGURATION

format-connected-battery :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.

tooltip-format-connected-battery :

	typeof: string
	This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.

tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery :

	typeof: string
	This format is used to define how each connected device with a battery should be displayed within the device_enumerate format replacement option.
	When this config option is not defined, it will fall back on the tooltip-format-enumerate-connected config option.
