Added Bluetooth Quick Toggle Functionality to the quick-settings Extension from Florian Müllner by adding code from the extension gnome-bluetooth-quick-connect from bjarosze. All code is theirs, I just moved stuff around really. Maybe added a line or 2.

You should really make a pull request to the [bluetooth-quick-connect extension](https://github.com/bjarosze/gnome-bluetooth-quick-connect) so bjarosze can add it to the next release with gnome 43 support!

Bluetooth Quick Connect adds a toggle for bluetooth devices in the GNOME bluetooth menu. It works as expected and it’s insane to me that this functionality isn’t built into Gnome. Works on 40 and 3.38 Gnome Extensions | GitHub

For the first time, I'm not upgrading to the new release
1 project | /r/gnome | 3 Oct 2023

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki
Is there a way to refresh GSconnect once in a while or assign a shortcut to refresh it? I want a command which can be used to refresh GSconnect, I will just assign a key to it.
