Please provide an example of how to enable Karabiner ONLY for a specific application.

In my case, I want to change the Apple keyboard's "fn" hey to the Windows "help" key.

But only when running VMware Fusion.

Thank you.

It would be something like this:
You can find the bundle identifier using Eventviewer


"description": "Use right shift as tilde in Citrix and Textedit",
      "manipulators": [
        {
          "type": "basic",
          "from": {
            "key_code": "right_shift"
          },
          "to": [
            {
              "key_code": "grave_accent_and_tilde"
            }
          ],
          "conditions": [
            {
              "type": "frontmost_application_if",
              "bundle_identifiers": [
                "^com.apple.TextEdit",
                "^com.citrix.receiver.icaviewer.mac”

This is a very useful example.

I believe I can build upon this foundation to get what I need.

Thank you!

I hope this will also help other users.
