This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

    I would turn your yelling around: Do you honestly believe the vast majority of users need more than just that functionality, which beelines you into connecting to a specific Wi-Fi over toggling anything on or off?

    Much like the Bluetooth menu, these changes are driven by the fact that the vast vast majority of users only ever need to access a quick “connect to this BT device” or “I want to connect to this Wi-Fi” menu. Never anything else.

    It sucks as a power user, but at least for me I could find individual toggles when editing the quick panel.

      If users don’t need it, then why was it created in the first place? Of course they need it.

      If you want to change networks or Bluetooth devices, that’s what the setting menu is for. This is called a “quick toggle” because it’s intended to quickly toggle connections on and off.

        So now what would you do if the data were to show that the vast majority need fast access to a menu to swap which BT device is connected, but only few ever turn it on or off?

        Wouldn’t it make sense to have the connect menu available quickly, and the on/off deeper in the configuration, just like you say it but the other way around?

        Of course, 10+ versions ago the devs expected the toggle to be used frequently. But unless our users are a very skewed sample, fucking nobody (if you round it) ever does. Same with toggling data.
