    That makes sense, K for Bluetooth. Very Microsoft.

      Right up there with Ctrl-X, C and V for Xut, Copy and Vaste respectively.

        I always interpreted as X because it looks like a pair of scissors, C for copy and V just because it’s close to the others.

        I suspect that’s mostly due to the qwerty layout

      K is vaguely the shape of the rune in the Bluetooth icon.

      My overall experience with Bluetooth connectivity in Win11 has been challenging to put it very mildly.

          Most desktops don’t have microphones, although all laptops do. I guess it was never deemed useful enough since a mouse and keyboard have been fine for decades. Text To Speech was created as a way to assist with “arduous” text input on mobile devices with small screens.

              I don’t have a webcam. And I didn’t have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.

        Bluetooth on Windows is trash. It’s not possible to have separate left and right volume controls, and headset buttons are not recognized.

      Win + I brings a way busier screen but it shows the Bluetooth devices with their connect button right there.

      Works in Windows 10 as well but there it requires an extra click to select the device so that the “connect” button is shown.

    I keep the Bluetooth icon always visible in the system tray, double clicking it opens the paired devices directly. Still working on 11.

      That’s actually one thing from win11 that i like: They put a quick bluetooth menu in the Control Centre (gear icon), no need to open the settings page and scroll through all the devices.

    What is this “Windows” everybody is talking about? Is that maybe an operating system you have to pay for compulsorily or am I too open source to get that?

      I’m sorry to say that in spite of your best efforts it still isn’t the year of the Linux desktop.
