Yeah, the nice thing about per-app is that you can configure it for each app separately. But I’ll be honest that isn’t something that I regularly do. If I am voice chatting with friends that will usually be a superset of what I want to send to a game’s voice chat.
so this would create double push-to-talk, forcing me to hold two keys together to talk in-game.
Why not use the same key for the game and the local mic control? I used to have a single key to mute myself in mumble and talk in Overwatch, and it worked well. Does your OS prevent it?
Those is both the call and game at the same time will hear everything, either from the call or game, as the mic is never mute. Switching between apps isn’t push-to-talk. Also, I can’t use same key to open both mics, as I don’t want private chat blasted into a public game.
In my call, I left the mic open by default, and configured a key as push-to-mute.
In the game, I left the mic muted by default, and configured the same key as push-to-talk.
This way, I could speak on the call or in the game, but never both at once, and the my was not open by default in the game.
Many games only allow push-to-talk for in-game voice, so this would create double push-to-talk, forcing me to hold two keys together to talk in-game.

I think you’ve misunderstood again.
