GNOME Shell 45.4
### Bug summary
Expanding the Bluetooth toggle in the Quick Settings displays an entire list of paired/known bluetooth devices I might have used in the past.
As you can see on the screenshot below, it makes the Quick Settings panel expand to the bottom of my screen (and it will eventually be cut-off because of the resolution of my laptop :/ but this is another issue)…
Expanding the Bluetooth toggle should only display _available_ bluetooth devices (ie. devices that are ready to connect) and not the entire history of devices that have been paired with my laptop in the past.
The current behavior has indeed several problems (in my humble opinion):
* Makes harder to find the device you intend to connect (you need to search the list)
* Might cause the Quick Settings to be cut-off on screens with 'unregular' resolution (when the list is big)\*
* Not very useful: Each time I intend to use a bluetooth device it could just show up in this list when ready to connect (no need to 'hardcode' it in the Quick Settings)+ I usually use only 1 or 2 bluetooth devices most of the time (no need to display the rest)
* Might be confusing (average user might think these devices are available/ready to connect)
* I could still find the registered/paired devices in Settings (no need to duplicate it)
\*Might be fixed in the near future (GNOME 46/47?)

When I turn off the Bluetooth from Gnome Shell, my headphones does not automatically get disconnected, so I have to wait until the Bluetooth connection times out, and only then I can connect my headphones to another device. In other operating systems this is not an issue - when I turn off Bluetooth in my iPhone, headphones immediately disconnect.
Temporary fix for that, is to just expand the Bluetooth options, and click on the headphones name in order to disconnect them first, and then turn off Bluetooth. As you can see those three clicks could be replaced with just one, and it would make using the Gnome Shell even more pleasing.

I'm really not sure if gdm runs on XOrg or Wayland. I have two computers one running XOrg and the other running Wayland. The OS is the same on both. I assume this issue is the same on both display servers but I can test it really easily if there is any requests for it.
### Bug summary
Bluetooth option in gdm shell was disabled while computer was locked. So I could not connect my Bluetooth keyboard to enter my credentials.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Make sure you have an unpaired Bluetooth keyboard that you want to use.
2. turn on the computer and wait for login manager to be ready.
3. Click on the drop down menu in the top right corner.
4. Click on Bluetooth entry.
### What happened
Bluetooth was grayed out (disabled) and options could not be accessed.
### What did you expect to happen
1. Make sure you have an unpaired Bluetooth keyboard that you want to use.
2. turn on the computer and wait for login manager to be ready.
3. Click on the drop down menu in the top right corner.
4. Click on Bluetooth entry.
5. Connect a new device -> new Bluetooth keyboard.
6. Login using your keyboard.
### Current workaround
1. Attach a physical keyboard.
2. Log in using the physical keyboard to type the password.
3. Detach the physical keyboard.
4. Now you can use the mouse to open the Bluetooth option in gnome-shell and continue on as expected.
### Side notes
This might be the intended but in my opinion it should not unless it's a highly security vulnerability. The issue arises when you use one keyboard for multiple devices and keyboard can only store a limited amount of hosts. Or if for some reason the keyboard is acting up weirdly and you want to reset it. If you're logged out you'll not get access.
For reference [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/pa3nfe/bluetooth_control_while_locked_screen/ha6dac8/?context=3) is a Reddit question on this.

When a user presses the volume buttons on a Bluetooth audio device, most desktop environments will show a volume OSD. In GNOME, the volume OSD only appears when adjusting the volume through media keys (via gnome-settings-daemon) or by using the mouse wheel on the volume indicator. I believe that gives an impression of the volume buttons not working correctly.
### How would you like it to work
Happily, our Bluetooth stack is smart enough to handle on-device volume buttons and correctly changes the output volume for that device. The missing piece here is GNOME Shell (or _something_) needs to show a volume OSD when the volume changes in that case. This might be an opportunity to play with #1201 as well.

Its shortcut or switch disables all kinds of radio, that is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular. However, with Bluetooth devices getting more popular (headphones, mice, etc.) some implementations of Plane Mode (see Android 10+) leave it enabled if already connected with wireless devices.
While this may be misleading, since the user expects radio to be turned off upon switching, it could be useful to warn or prompt users in case of connected Bluetooth devices, to avoid side effects (e.g. having PulseAudio blast audio through speakers instead of headphones in public spaces, or having to re-enable it manually and reconnect every single device), especially since some people use Plane Mode as a sort of distraction-free experience, or to save battery, rather than literally on planes.
A simple (although improvable) implementation could be a dialog:

**Disable Bluetooth?**
Enabling Plane Mode will disconnect you from

- _Sony WH-1000XM3_
**[ Leave On ]** **[ Disable ]**

By now, I saw online a script [1] which allows you to check battery status of the device. I think it should be done by GNOME itself instead of run a script by one own.

## Description
When using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse which haven't yet paired, it's impossible to log in using GDM as there is no ability to pair (at least) the keyboard.
OS X seems to solve this nicely by putting up a bluetooth pairing wizard in case no input device are connected, something similar might be nice for gdm.
