Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
Reciprocally, it's just amazing how much better AutoHotKey is at scripting the computer is than everything else is. The language was clearly never the reason why AHK persisted.
There's works like AutoPy (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopy) and AutoPilot-rs (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs), but they offer like 1/100th the capabilities AHK does.
Personally I think this kind of computer-control is the perfect environment for teaching computing. Rather than writing apps or webapps, I feel like the idea of just writing code to do what you the user would do anyways, but better, is a fantastic introduction to computing & programming. In my ideal world, we'd have an EVE Online server that specifically re-enables the game-client's python interpretter (and periodically does total wipes), so folks can learn to program by scripting not just their desktop, but a complex & interesting game, via it's rich api.

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
The changes doc would be 10x more usef if it included more examples of the changes. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/v2-changes.htm
I do wish programmers had more options in general for this kind of thing. I ran into https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs lately but it is extremely simple. On Windows there s UI Automation, which can help script many conventional apps. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automa...

How to limit a single app run?
An example with xdo:
-
Open app in the background
I might have understood your question wrong, if you want to close the GUI window after staring the app you'd want to take a look at xdo. I'd still give it a little bit of time after starting it to be ready and then use something like:
-
Keybind to center floating window?
xdo (by baskerville, bspwm's creator);

Update regarding Steam + DWM + focusonnetactive
The focusonnetactive patch replaces dwm's default behavior by removing the urgency bit to allow for focusing on the client sending the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message instead. This is the preferred behavior if you use tools like xdo to perform actions on windows, for example:
