Feature Request: Control AXS actions via Karoo

If I understood the AXS support of the Karoo (3) correct: The Karoo can be controlled with any AXS button (Shifter, Blip, etc). So it should also be technically possible to control an AXS device with the karoo buttons.

For example: Change the action of the left and right lower side buttons to do the shifting with the bottuns. Would be great to have the possibility and would bring AXS users some kind of satellite shifters on the upper handlebar position

  Err - the Karoo buttons already have set functions and you would have to take your hands of the bars to use the Karoo buttons for shifting. Why would you even want to use the Karoo buttons to shift gears??? You can buy Blips for this purpose which can be placed anywhere on the bars as they are wireless.

  Well, for me the feature wouldn't be so bad: when i'm riding in the top handlebar position, my two index fingers are right next to the two lower side buttons on the karoo. so i could easily press the buttons with my knuckles without taking my hands off the handlebars.

  unfortunately, i can't mount any blips in this area on my handlebars because the handlebar-stem unit is so curved that i don't have any handlebar tape or flat surfaces there.

  I don't think so. When I understood everything correctly, the new karoo speeks the AXS protocol and doesn't communicate via ANT+ with the groupset.

  K2 only supports ANT+ and BT.
