Only disable bluetooth when the lid is closed

Open valoricDe opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I was mainly anoyed that my headphones connected to my mac when my mac was in my backpack.

For this bluesnooze helped a ton. But I also have the problem that my mac needs now ages to reconnect the mouse and keyboard I guess because apple didn't design the software in a way to do so.

What do you guys think? Could we add this mode in the options?

I found Bluesnooze because I was annoyed by this exact issue. I don't want my headphones to connect to my sleeping Macbook while it's in my backpack... But I also don't want my keyboard to disconnect when I leave it sitting for a few minutes. If Bluesnooze could engage under the specific condition that the lid is closed (not just the normal automatic timed sleep), then I would have literally nothing to complain about.

The delay in reconnecting your mouse and keyboard might indeed be a result of how macOS handles Bluetooth, prioritizing different devices or power-saving features that slow down reconnections.

Adding a mode or option to control specific device behavior (e.g., "prioritize reconnecting mouse/keyboard" or setting different auto-connect preferences) could definitely improve the user experience. It would be useful if macOS provided a more customizable approach to Bluetooth connections—perhaps letting users manage device priority or toggle auto-connect on a per-device basis.
