Hello,
It appears that since bluez 5.48, the gatt commands and others have been
moved into a submenu in the bluetoothctl shell.
I'm struggling to find a way to access the gatt commands. In the past I
could just type "list-attributes" but now it says "Invalid command".
None of the following commands work:
- gatt
- gatt help
- help gatt
- list-attributes
I had a quick look at the source code and I have the feeling that there
is actually no way to access these commands.
If there is a way already, please make it easier and more intuitive to find.
My env:
- openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot 20180130
- bluez 5.48
- kernel 4.14.15-1-default
Thanks,
Vincent

Sounds good to me, do you care to send this as a proper patch?

You can input "menu gatt" to enter gatt submenu and can use available commands
in gatt submenu (e.g. "list-attributes"). If you want to return to main menu,
you input "back". Then you can use available commands in main menu or enter
another submenu.
When inputting an invalid command, we may be able to add the messages like
[bluetooth]# gatt
Invalid command: gatt
Use "help" for a list of available commands in a menu.
Use "menu <submenu>" if you want to enter any submenu.
Use "back" if you want to return to main menu.
with the following patch.
