[Bluez-users] how to get rid of Apple Wireless Keyboard timing out?

[Miernik]

I have the bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard, and is has a (probably
power saving) feature of "kind of turning off" after some period of
inactivity (something in the order of magnitude of 30 minutes). 

Is it a feature of the keyboard or the bluez stack?

How can I turn off this feature, as it is very annoying to have to reset
the switch on the back of the keyboard, and then run 'hidd --search'
every time I make a half-hour break.

you need to start "hidd --server --timeout=0".
