Restart Bluetooth from macOS Dock

macOS has an annoying bug where bluetooth periodically stops working. If you're working via a BT keyboard/trackpad you are forced to wait a minute or two until it resolves on it's own.

Alternative (5 seconds): Have a cable at the ready, plugin your trackpad, restart BT via the macOS Dock.

Setup a shortcut to restart Bluetooth from the dock
