It would be awesome if we could set different proxy settings for different apps :)

This could be as simple as setting environment variables, assuming all programs respect them...

Yes, look for environment variables. Probably every program uses a different env var for the proxy.

Many will respect HTTP{,S}_PROXY. Some require it to be lower-case (http{,s}_proxy).

@chiraag-nataraj @netblue30 Thanks for your response, how would I do that?

The main idea, is to force applications to use a Proxy. Something similar to TorSocks but for any Proxy.

(except without the need to, use "torsocks" before every command line and with a GUI.)

Add something like the following to a profile

env HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128

I shold note, torsocks is a ld.preload shim that actually intercepts calls and enforces they route over the proxy, providing a layer of safety. So depending on what application you are using you might not want to use this env method.

@SkewedZeppelin How do you add that to a profile? Can I use FireTools or the Config app? Or is there a terminal command?

Either way, I think the question has been answered sufficiently thoroughly. I'll go ahead and close, but @asdfghjz, please feel free to re-open if you have additional questions!
