I wrote such a utility for myself a while back. I've put it here:

if you want to take a look at it.
I mapped keys for a console lock, volume, and various music player daemon
client controls.

for BRLTTY to register as an agent over dbus and provide the PIN directly.

There are actually two alternating write errors: one from writeData() or
something underneath it, plus the LogError("Baum Bluetooth write");. The
alternation prevents syslog from
rvice. Also, my impression is that it would
be a web site for brltty whose name would not depend on the name of its
maintainer.
These sites will have you jump through some hoops too.
