Description of the new feature / enhancement

There is a "excluded apps" option and this would be the direct opposite. Instead of enabling Quick Accent when you aren't in a certain app, only open it when you are in a certain app.
There would be a new bar "Activate only in certain apps" (or a better name) which would be optional to fill, just like Excluded apps.

Scenario when this would be used?

I find it annoying when I'm playing a game and while I'm pressing W/A/S/D and jump at the same time with the SPACE key and the Quick Accent dialogue pops up. I download new games quite often and they almost always have a movement with WASD and jump/pause with SPACE. So, why should I have to search for the .exe, copy its name, and paste it in Excluded Apps?
Instead, it would be easier to just add my browser, discord, viber, notepad, and other text input programs to the Activate only in certain apps menu once and for all and never open the Quick Accent menu again? Also, I add games quite often but the last time I got a new text-input program was like 5 years ago so the searching for .exe's would be reduced tremendously, thus saving time.
