bluetooth-cross-pair
Small utility that automates the process of copying Bluetooth keys from one OS to the other.
Why need this? To keep from having to repair my mouse and keyboard whenever I switch OS'es in a multi-boot system.
How do I use it?
- Go and pair your devices with all of your OS'es first
- On the last OS you paired with, run
bluetooth-cross-pair export keys.json 00112233aabbcc 445566ddeeff, where00112233aabbccand445566ddeeffare the MAC addresses of your keyboard and mouse. You can save any number of devices in one key file. - On all the other OS'es, run
bluetooth-cross-pair import keys.json
OS support
Current OS compatibility table. Feel free to implement import/export for other OS'es:
| OS | Import | Export |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | No | Yes |
| Windows | Yes | No |
| Ubuntu | Yes | No |
