App Specific Shortcuts

Is it possible to define a keyboard shortcut for a certain app that would execute a number of steps?

For example:
If I press a defined shortcut F1 in Total Commander, instead of opening Help by default StrokesPlus overrides it and executes two steps:
1. Send keyboard shortcut F6
2. Send keyboard shortcut ENTER

Yeah, you just have to check the foreground window.

I don't have Total Commander installed, so I'm not sure if the title match below will work - just change "Total Commander" as needed to match the title of that window.

I just made a regular hotkey in S+ for F1 (only Active checked, not Unregistered), then added this script. My test used "Notepad" instead of "Total Commander", but it worked fine.
Code:
// If the active window is Total Commander, send F6 then Enter
if(sp.ForegroundWindow().Title.indexOf("Total Commander") > -1) {
    sp.SendVKey(vk.F6);
    sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN);
} else {
    // Otherwise send F1 for any other app
    sp.SendVKey(vk.F1);
}

Thank you Rob. It works.
But what if I need to define the same shortcut to execute different actions in more than one app?

For example:
If I press F1 in Total Commander, it executes two steps:
1. Send keyboard shortcut F6
2. Send keyboard shortcut ENTER

If I press F1 in CorelDRAW, it executes:
1. Send keyboard shortcut ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+F10

You just keep adding conditions like this:
Code:
// If the active window is Total Commander, send F6 then Enter
if(sp.ForegroundWindow().Title.indexOf("Total Commander") > -1) {
    sp.SendVKey(vk.F6);
    sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN);
} else if(sp.ForegroundWindow().Title.indexOf("CorelDRAW") > -1) {
   // do something for Corel
} else if(sp.ForegroundWindow().Title.indexOf("Notepad") > -1) {
   // do something for Notepad
} else {
    // Otherwise send F1 for any other app
    sp.SendVKey(vk.F1);
}
