Description of the new feature / enhancement

If I have a keyboard that is azerty and one that is qwerty (I use it for different reason but this is an easy example) i would want to change Q <-> A and W <-> Z, but only on 1 keyboard, so they match (because globally changing the keys wouldn't really help much).

Scenario when this would be used?

I'm not good at forms, but basically the qwerty azerty example is one, what I currently use keyboard manager for is, I used to play games a lot with a razor orbweaver (its basically a keypad where you can customly bind all the keys). They kept breaking on me (because razer is really not that durable), so I bought a really cheap keypad, I use keyboard manager to change the keybinds for the game I use (because the keypad doesnt have software that allows me to do that). The main issue is that changing keys for the keypad will cause my normal keys to also be changed, so I have to toggle it every time I switch to a different game (where I dont use the keypad, or at least with those binds) or if I decide to do anything else on my computer.
The other examples I can think of for this would be a gaming mouse that has the side buttons but they are all digits so your not really getting more keys, just more inputs for the same keys, this could allow mice to be reprogrammable if it doesn't have software while not messing up keyboard's settings.
