- Automated testing WPF app

[WPF, C#] Need ideas on how to automate these operations based on the response I get from python script.
If you are looking to automate this all through the GUI of each app involved then I suggest using FlaUI or some other wrapper around UIA

What C# tools would you like to use that don't exist today?
The best open-source library for writing UIA for native Windows desktop apps is FlaUI if you find the problem space interesting. I started learning about all types of UIA when I started at a company doing QA work. Now I worked on UIA because I learned from my experience how bad UIA support is in most applications, and I am disappointed that people who are disabled have that to look forward to, not to mention that if my hands were ever crushed or some other maiming were to occur, I would be depending on UIA as well. Since that realization, I have tried to get more developers interested in UI automation and its quality, not just because of its effect on others with disabilities but because it benefits anyone in our profession to have that safety.

AutoHotkey v2 Official Release Announcement
Alternatively if you're into dotnet, FlaUI is amazing for automation and gives you a sane environment. I moved to it when I couldn't deal with AutoIT scripts anymore and it's everything I needed. https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI

Easy way for screen automation in WPF (C#)
What comes to mind is something like this one: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI I don't think it can do the "search image on screen" part. A smooth mouse movement is only a series of mouse teleports, so that should be coded relatively easy. If you really don't know where the image is on screen and it also does not have a id to search for then it will be a little harder I guess. Like making a screenshot and putting it into some image processing library? Probably there are easier solutions out there

What is the best way to control another program from code without using APIs?
Is it possible to control another program via code? This link says yes and the following is the successor of what they originally recommended: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.

I've written a little launcher-alike tool that helps you with searching through your currently open browser tabs without having to manually click through all your browser instances.
If you're like me and have way too many tabs open and then get lost whenever you need to access that one tab quickly again, then this software might help you. It basically uses FlaUI to search for tabs in your browser instances and allows you to open the tab within a click. No need to manually click through all your browser instances. Kinda like the launchers everyone knows, just for browser tabs.

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
Just FYI the exact same thing is now also possible with AHK_X11 on Linux https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11
- Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now

Steam deck - Macros
If you can't get what you want via Steam Input, you'll have to go desktop mode with a full macro suite likeAHK_X11 or Keysharp.

Wine Wayland Driver
This falls right on time for my 2023 "Linux on the desktop" attempt! (now I wish https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 had a Wayland option...)
I can't live without Office! My personal favorite is 2010 x64, as Word then starts faster than the current Wordpad.
Office 2010 works great in Windows 11, but there've been some suspicious move making me believe old office version will be given a poison pill or something under the plausible deniability of "security risks of 13 year old software", like how Outlook 2010 can't connect to outlook.com anymore (though it works great with gmail using google's GWSO plugin)
On MY computer, I run what I want. So I'll try Office 2010 in wine within Wayland.

Learning Linux: recommended resources
I want to switch, but the only snag is that I love AutoHotkey, and a Linux port is still in progress. I use AutoHotkey to make my keyboard and (especially) my mouse more useful. I could probably do the same things by other means in Linux—everything is customizable in Linux, after all. And anyway I might use my mouse less and less as I become more capable with the terminal. Still, I'll wait a while in the hope that I'll be able to more or less plop my AutoHotkey script into the Linux version.

AutoHotkey v2 Official Release Announcement
Check out https://bitbucket.org/mfeemster/keysharp/ and https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11, two attempts at porting AHK to Linux. The former isn't usable yet, the latter is by me and somewhat incomplete.

What's your current experience with WSL?
The only Windows-specific app I use is AutoHotkey, and I'm pleased to see that a Linux rewrite is in development 🎉 And wouldn't you know it, written in Crystal!

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
AHK_X11 is AutoHotkey for Linux and it does not yet support Wayland, but it's definitely impossible https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11/issues/2 (see also: ydotool)

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
I have recently learned to use it to create an AutoHotkey for Linux implementation (https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11), and it's been a delightful experience. If you like programming in Go and Ruby syntax, this will be your go to language. Other than that, it bears but few surprises, which I would consider a good thing. Its major downside is its compilation time and poor IDE support. Also, you should not be afraid to search through Crystal's GitHub issues or dig into the stdlib's source for more exotic use cases. However, the latter is as easily accessible as is your own code, and the community around Crystal seems quite friendly and welcoming. Contrary to sibling comments, I find it well suited for programs outside of web development as well.
And most of all, it's fast.
