Bluetooth keys not available #703

Hi,
I am trying to write a firmware for a XIAO BLE based numpad.
You can find my code so far here.

While implementing the bluetooth functionality I realized that the keys KC.BT_CLR, KC.BT_PRV and KC.BT_NXT are not available anymore.
Were this keys removed or did I miss something in my code?

Instead I found the button KC.BLE_REFRESH in the code.
I could not find it in the documentation. What is this key doing?

While trying to get some help over discord and matrix I also realized that I can not join.
Are the servers still online? Or did simply the invite code expired?

Thanks

kmkfw.io hasn't been updated by the site owner since about a year ago, see #626. We do not recommend using it, please use the original documentation in this repository. You can find the link to our Zulip community chat there.

As for the BT keys: they don't exist, not sure if they ever existed. Noones actively working on BT.
BLE_REFRESH stops and restarts advertising (at least that's what the code claims).

Thanks for your fast reply.
Maybe it would make sense to give a hint on the homepage that it is outdated.
It was really confusing for me since it is the only documentation I found on the internet for KMK firmware.

And also thanks for the clarification regarding Bluetooth.
I tried KMK mainly because of the bluetooth support.
But since it is not completed yet I will maybe try ZMK.
I really like the ways to write keyboard firmware in python and hope the BLE support will be supported soon.

It is very confusing, but nothing we can do about. There's a hint on the website, but due to the structure it's not the first thing you see.

BT is working, as far as I know. There's just no active development. You can still contribute or request features.

Ok sorry my fault. Yes I can confirm that Bluetooth it's working. And I also saw that you merged the "BLE_DISCONNECT key". Thank you.

It would be nice to also switch the Bluetooth connections. I will create a feature request for that.
