Different foot switch mappings for browser and desktop apps

Question: different foot switch mappings for browser and desktop apps?

Practical notes

Smart Profiles can select different Stream Deck layouts for different foreground applications.

Application-specific profiles can give the same physical pedal different mappings by context.

A default profile is needed when no dedicated application profile applies.

Verify the foreground application before relying on a context-sensitive shortcut.
