Inconsistent behavior across apps (Need per-app profiles)

[MokhtarKhorshid]

I've set my profile to mimic Windows environments which mitigates the issues of switching between Mac & Windows frequently. This works mostly well, except with some of Microsoft's own software which already uses Windows key mapping.

Can we have a way which of the profiles we defined is activated whenever an App is in focus? This would be a huge time-saver.

Have you already tried something like this?
#808

It sounds like it can be achieved with conditions, and bundle_identifiers
Caveat: I've never actually tried it, and not sure I'm even correct..

Edit: It sounds like you really want the binding EXCEPT if it is a Microsoft app.
So you'd probably want the mapping to somehow negate: "type": "frontmost_application_if

Thanks for pointing that out. This might be the way to do it. It seems that this issue only affects MS Word, as OneNote works fine for example.

How can you negate a condition?

Yes, you can use "frontmost_application_unless"
