[Feature request] Add keyboard shortcuts to blueman

[erdnaxe]

blueman: 2.1.4
BlueZ: 5.55
Distribution: NixOS 20.09
Desktop environment: i3+XFCE

• I have consulted the Troubleshooting page and done my best effort to follow.

Currently to close Blueman "Bluetooth Devices" window I need to input ALT+A then E. Would it be possible to bind at least some "exit" shortcuts such as ESC, CTRL-Q or CTRL-W?

This is also problematic with the "Plugins" and "Bluetooth Adapters" windows witch are impossible to close on i3.

#1406 added support for CTRL-Q and CTRL-W. It's in master and will be part of 2.2.

Oh I was not aware of #1406, this is nice.
Does #1406 only apply to the main window, or also to "Plugins" and "Bluetooth Adapters" windows?

[cschramm]

Unfortunately not. It only applies to blueman-manager. The plugin dialog is part of blueman-applet and the adapters are blueman-adapters. It would be the same logic for blueman-adapters but blueman-applet is not a GtkApplication, so it does not have the same set_accels_for_action method.

It is much less problematic as I don't open these windows everyday, but I believe it is still an issue.
Feel free to change the title/close this issue if you think this should not be fixed.

As I said, it's trivial for blueman-adapters, so I guess it's worth it. Regarding blueman-applet we'd have to switch it to GtkApplication to get the same. I'm not sure if @infirit had any specific reason not to use it in #1304.

Short answer, there was no need for what GtkApplication provides over GApplication. It should be trivial to make it GtkApplication though.

Closing blueman-adapters with a shortcut/escape per #1946

[infirit]

I have added closing the pluginwindow, blueman-adapters and blueman-services with Ctrl+w, Escape and Ctrl+q only when we actually quit in #1927. Are there other areas that need a shortcut for blueman 2.4?
