Bug Description

It would be nice to be able to hide indicators that you don't have any use for.
I don't intend to switch my keyboard layout that often or maybe you want to turn off Bluetooth and never use it.

Discovered that if you only have 1 keyboard layout, the indicator goes away. Can the bluetooth indicator be removed aswell if you disable bluetooth? Still think it could be an option if you only intend to use it once in a while but don't want the indicator.

That is already possible. No GUI yet but you can do it by yourself.
Wingpanel will look for a default.blacklist file in the ~/.config/wingpanel.d/ directory.
 In this file there must be one indicator filename per line.
You can find the indicator file names in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wingpanel/
In your case for example libbluetooth.so

Is the workaround from Djax still how to do it?

For me, I would like to hide the bluetooth indicator. Or is there somewhere in the GUI an option wich I couldn't find so far?
