Every time I wake up PC from sleep I have to go to bluetooth settings -> select device -> enable connection to get sound on bluetooth speakers (Anker Soundcore). Bluetooth came with MBO and drivers were working out of the box after PopOS install.

I hope there is a command I can use instead of clicking in the GUI. Anyone know a command I could use?

[SOLUTION]

Using this command (with bluetooth speaker MAC address):

bluetoothctl connect A4:77:58:0A:DF:F1

[SOLUTION]

Bonus question: I was thinking I could map that command to a keyboard shortcut (like CTRL+ALT+B). What is the best way (or app) to accomplish this? I believe I could google this part quickly, but happy to hear suggestions anyway

[SOLUTION]

It’s possible with PopOS: Settings -> Keyboard -> Keaboard Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts

    One of the wonderful things about Linux is that if something isn’t working, you can just make it work! Also, if you ever need to make a simple service to run a script on boot, you know how now; it can be very useful. Always happy to help though, enjoy your journey through Linux!
