I keep having a thought that something like BtInput should be implemented as a virtual keyboard that is only a few tens of pixels high. That way you'd have the (re-)pairing controls up when you need them and you'd obscure much less of the app (see problems with stock Terminal) when using BT.
I however, don't have a bluetooth keyboard and have minimal C++ skills, so might have to pass my idea-baton to someone else.

Guys, I have no knowledge on N9/50 BT subsystem, but there was a similar issue (i.e. once into sleep never wakes up) on n900. Don't know if it will be of any use, but one may want to look into kernel-power BT patch for mouse.
on the other hand HID input profile works OK on n900, I can't think of any reason it should not work on the newer kernel n9/50 has. Given the module is built of course

I know about BtInput but it is less then ideal for a Bluetooth Keyboard as everytime the keyboard goes to sleep to save power, the N9 loses connection, and when the keyboard turns back on and tries to talk to the N9 again, BtInput doesnt dynamically deal with it and we have to repeat the keyboards pairing process all over again
This is quite a basic requirement for bluetooth enabled devices, I am quite shocked that Nokia didn't implement it especially in the 'end user/keyboardless' version of the N900 sucessor!
Any guys from the Maemo5 CSSU would probably have some idea how to replace modules, maybe creating an open bluetooth UI and link it to an open bluetooth module that supports HID, then allows us to Incept it to replace the stock one similarly to how MAG for the system-ui to be unrestricted!
Is this a possibility??
Please share your thoughts
Well Nokia do at least know how to build a decent phone, just apparently don't know how to support it..
N900 Died Replaced with N8, Requested E7, "Accidentally Broke E7", Now rolling with an N9 and im loving it!
