Feature Request: Bluetooth toggle in System Menu

Would it be possible to add an option to toggle bluetooth devices in the system menu. With an arrow at the right of the bluetooth button opening a menu. Presenting something similar to the VPN connection toggles.

Thanks for considering this request.

I don't know if there will be an Arrow on it when You have more Devices but a Bluetooth Toggle is already there:

I have 6 devices and there's no arrow. 2 of the devices are my keyboard and mouse. If I toggle the Bluetooth button I lose connection to the keyboard & mouse. Which isn't ideal.

Hmm ... maybe the Toggle is only for turn Bluetooth on and off. Maybe the Bluetooth Quick Connection Gnome Extension could help for now.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link. I've just installed the extension and it's exactly what I need. It really should be a default feature on the Zorin Core desktop.

Unfortunately there's a lot of features in my opinion that should be a part of the core desktop experience. Gnome has other ideas about what should be the "core" experience of Gnome. Zorin fixes a decent amount, and maybe they could add this in the future, but every time they upgrade it'll be a new version of Gnome, causing new issues to be fixed. Very frustrating.

Wait a few months for cosmic, they have that bluetooth toggle already implemented.
