Multiple adapter support?

Is there any way to make blueberry to use secondary bluetooth adapter?

This seems like a useful feature to have. I believe, we can show a dialog box listing out all the available Bluetooth devices and let the user choose their preferred device.
Bonus points for adding a "save this device as my default" checkbox at the bottom left on this dialog box.

In main UI window, we'll add a "Change Bluetooth device" button to take the user back to device selection screen, this time though, without the option to set it as default. In my opinion the proposed enhancement would ensure we get to keep the software relatively simple.

This is a must-have issue for many people that try to get rid of their internal bluetooth adapter - SO is full of questions about that, taking people to udev rules (not an option for my UART device), rfkill and other command-line shenanigans. Even trying rfkill is hard in my case, since I'm not being able to use bluetoothctl to pair with my keyboard using Onboard, and Blueberry fails to find the second adapter once I killed the main one.

The year is 2024 it's NOT POSSIBLE to change a bluetooth adapter on Linux Mint without resorting to the terminal, if you have enough patience and luck.

Last I checked, Linux Mint team is looking to replace blueberry with blueman due to ABI incompatibility with gnome-bluetooth.

You might have luck with blueman instead. :)
