Hello,

I tried to join a Bluetooth connection. The option to connect was not present. After some time, I realized this was because I disabled Bluetooth. It's okay, it's just me being dumb.

For dumb people like me, though, the network editor / applet could instead offer to enable Bluetooth and then connect instead.

In the network editor, it could be done by showing a "Enable Bluetooth and connect" action instead of the regular "Connect" option. In the applet, a dialog could be shown: "To join this network, Bluetooth needs to be enabled. Do you want to enable Bluetooth and join this network?", or something.

What do you think?
