Bluetooth managers (Linux Mint)

I don't like the default bluetooth manager on Linux Mint: It requires too many clicks to reconnect the one headphone that I use all the time. This should be easier!

Bluetooth Quick Connect	This is a Gnome extension - I use Cinnamon [1]
Bluez-utils	Set of command-line tools for Bluetooth This might be more efficient (because I can program it) than having a traditional GUI client [2]
