The Bluetooth Quick Connect extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1401/bluetooth-quick-connect/) should be built-in functionality in GNOME.
It’s a hugely cumbersome process, otherwise, to connect to headphones that you’ve already paired (especially if you also use them with your phone, etc.)
@aral It may be integrated in future releases. They already imagine a design : https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/os-mockups/-/blob/master/system-status/quick-toggles-3.png
@aurnytoraink Neat :)
@aral oooh! That's really handy, thanks. Any other favourites you'd recommend?
@Edent The only other one I have installed at the moment is Night Theme Switcher (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2236/night-theme-switcher/) which automatically switches between light/dark based on time of day and you can also add a button to the status menu to manually override it.
Works like a charm and really shows off how well the colour scheme animations work in GNOME (also highlights which apps don’t support it yet).
@aral Thanks.
I can highly recommend Clipboard History and the Emoji Picker.
@Edent Neat, will check ’em out, thanks.
For the latter, have you tried Ctrl + . (period) for the native GNOME emoji picker? (Only works in native apps. Haven’t been able to get it to work in Firefox, for example.)
@aral I remember when Bluetooth was the promised land of easy connectivity. But repairing devices is a real PITA. I do like not yanking my laptop off the desk when I stand up though.
@aral This one also comes quite handy

Have just tried it in on Fedora 34
