I want the ability to manually control when my laptop connects to my bluetooth speaker - so disabling autoconnect. I usually play music from my phone so the laptop autoconnecting can result in it taking over the phone.

The Internet says the way to do this is to "Untrust" the speaker, but then I get this dialog like 5-10 times after turning on the speaker, it's incredibly annoying to have to keep pressing deny.

Any ideas how to stop this? #Linux #EndeavourOS #ArchLinux

I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse so turning off bluetooth on my laptop isn't an option

Using bluetoothctl you can turn off either pairable or discoverable. I think this is what I did a while ago on my laptop. I don't get random connection requests but my mouse is fine.
