Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.98.1
### Installation method
Microsoft Store
### Area(s) with issue?
Keyboard Manager
### Steps to reproduce
Enable the new editor
Click Open editor
Add a new remapping
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
I expect to have the checkbox active and be able to successfully apply any trigger to a specific app.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
The box for only apply to a specific app is grayed out. The only way to make it available is to enter a chord into the trigger box. Entering a single key as a target does not enable or grays out the box, if it is enabled.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Keyboard Manager's new editor using a single-key trigger, following the listed steps. Trace the logic controlling the “Only apply to a specific app” checkbox and compare it with chorded triggers; done means the checkbox is available and the remapping can be limited to a selected app for supported triggers.
