The Bluetooth Quick Connect extension (extensions.gnome.org/extension) 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 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 (extensions.gnome.org/extension) 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.
