Hello

I am wondering if it's possible (and how) to have an automation script so that when I plug in an external display via thunderbolt, bluetooth is turned on. Then, when I unplug external display, bluetooth is turned back off.

I only use bluetooth when I dock my macbook to monitor and then use bluetooth keyboard so it would be GREAT if bluetooth would auto turn off to save energy !

any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is to write an automator script and assign it a keyboard shortcut.
