Feature Request: Settings for turning screen on
Heyhey,
I love my Karoo and had the 2nd and now 3rd. Great improvements around battery and other areas. I also love the dedicated button for device and screen on/off.
What I find really annoying though is that you brought back the "turn screen on with any button" option without any customization option. I understand that the feature makes sense for loads of users but it is so crazy annoying when you take the Karoo off, esp. if you are using a Garmin mount. It constantly starts, pauses rides or opens other options. I would wish for a simple setting where I can define when I want to use any button to turn the screen on:
- Never
- Always
- Only in ride
I think it would make sense this way as the main on/off button is meant for that so it doesn't need additional settings.
That would take a massive annoyance away so I hope you can consider it.
Cheers

Hi Kruno,
Thanks for your feedback. We definitely implemented this based on rider feedback, but understand it may not be for everyone. I totally hear your concerns as someone that got into the habit of turning my screen off when I take it off the mount to prevent myself from hitting buttons.
This is something we can look at adding in the future as we've had other riders that have also requested we add the ability to "lock hardware buttons" the same way we allow you to lock the touchscreen.
Great feedback and we'll see what we can do in the future for you.

Great, thx.
Just an addition. The issue is simply that it's very hard to take it off without pressing one of the hardware buttons. Also, I am not sure that an option to "lock hardware buttons" would fit to what I mean bcs I wand to be able to use them when the screen is on. It's simply and only about turning the sceen on.
