I saved this to a file (in my case in ~/code/scripts/bluetooth-toggle.sh
) and made it executable with chmod +x ~/code/scripts/bluetooth-toggle.sh
. Then I assigned this to run via a keyboard shortcut using the GUI keyboard management tool

Thanks for this, I've been looking for something similar for Linux Mint/Ubuntu
Unfortunately this didn't work for me, the lines relating to reading of state worked, but the setting of state reoprted:
"Error org.bluez.Error.Blocked: Blocked through rfkill"
More research going to be required for me I think.....
