Description of the new feature / enhancement

Please carry the Remap a Shortcut feature's ability to select an individual process to override to Remap a Key.

Both of those Keyboard Manager customizations would only affect individual processes, instead of global enforcement.

Scenario when this would be used?

On my primary browser, I have 8 tabs which are frequently accessed and pinned. Each of these pinned tabs could then be accessed simply by pressing F1 through F12 keys — when these function keys are otherwise unused.

Ex:
I want to remap the chrome process to always use the F1 key to translate to Ctrl (Left) + 1.
This brings up a pinned/static ChatGPT tab that is always in the 1st tab position.
For those that desire this functionality, this remap could be used for any/all tabs.

This is usage case would only apply to static tabs, because users would remember function key correlations to their frequent tabs.
Quickly scrolling threw these tabs now becomes easier as users can simply pan through the function keys. Users can also utilize a browser extension or add-on that displays the tab numbers.

Supporting information

Previously using AutoHotkey for this exact solution, I'd rather use PowerToys' GUI over scripting
