Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Can you include remapping a key to a shortcut in a specific app, please?

### Scenario when this would be used?

For ChatGPT, enter is defaulted as send but I like to change it to next line (short cut is shift + enter) but keep it in this app only.

### Supporting information

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Keyboard Manager key-remapping flow and its handling of app-specific settings; done means a key can map to Shift+Enter only in the selected app while existing global remaps continue to work.
