Description

Currently in all Linux distributions I know, there is no way of connecting a bluetooth mouse without another mouse. macOS shows a window where you can do this as it's very first thing when you set up a new Mac that has no mouse connected (like a mac mini or iMac).

I think this app would be perfect to do something similar. Would add a lot to the UX polish.

Unfortunately I can't find a screenshot for this and currently don't have access to a stationary Mac, but from what I remember the dialog was very simple. It definitely wasn't the full bluetooth prefpane. It just said something along the lines "There is no mouse connected. Connect a wired mouse or put your Bluetooth mouse into pairing mode". It would then auto pair and connect any mouse that it found and I believe it would even automatically close the dialog.
