Subject: [Bluez-users] "Connect" button on Logitech bluetooth receiver

I've got a Logitech bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo that comes with a
charging base for the mouse, which server also as the BT receiver. On it
is a button marked "connect".

When the receiver is working in "I'll do the bluetooth bit and just
pretend to be a USB keyboard and mouse", this is used to connect it to
the keyboard or mouse in question. When it is running as a real Bluetooth
receiver with the HID being done by Linux, this button appears to have no
effect.

I was wondering whether it might be possible to watch for this button
being pressed, and if so, trigger a

  hidd --search

command.

I ask because sometimes lately I've noticed the keyboard and/or mouse
will become disconnected, requiring the above command to be run
simultaneously to pressing the "connect" button on the keyboard/mouse.
When the mouse has done that, not too difficult. But if the keyboard
goes, it's obviously more difficult to recover :)
