Description

There are some complex modifications (rules) I would like to enable only on my external keyboard. It would be great if this could be enabled, the same way as the simple modifications and Function keys can be set individually per device.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing GUI implementation for per device simple modifications and function keys. Understand the data model and UI components. Then design and implement a similar interface for complex modifications, ensuring it integrates with the current device specific settings.
