RFC : Add support for application specific settings & bindings.

[TonyFlury]

The current Wacom windows drivers allow for per application settings, clearly detecting at runtime which application the stylus is pointing at. These settings allow for example different bindings of the Express Keys between GIMP and Blender.

It would be very useful for libwacom to support the same per-application settings - I don't know the full details of what data is available to libwacom, but persumably the driver gets the handle to the window the stylus is pointing at, and via that handle it should be possible to get the owning process and the path executable.

• [x ] I understand that libwacom does affect whether the device works (see Troubleshooting)

Hi, there. I'm a bot and have been asked to have a look at this.

libwacom is a bunch of text files with a C API, and the information in those text files
is static fixed information that we cannot get from the device (e.g. the model name or which
button will produce which event code). It does not affect functionality directly, if the
tablet does not work this is either an issue with the kernel drivers, xf86-input-wacom
(if using X) or libinput/the desktop environment (if using Wayland). Please file the
issue with the component that most likely applies.
