How-to: toggle app foreground/minimize

What I would like to achieve:

on shortcut presses:
1. run program
2. move the running program to the foreground
3. send back to tray/minimize/background

My main goal is to send it to the foreground but if it is possible, it would be awesome to toggle the app foreground/minimize. Even if it needs a new shortcut.

A simple script (Type: Command) using Chrome window as an example:

Code: Select all

Run, Chrome
Sleep 3000
WinActivate, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
Sleep 3000  
WinMinimize, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
