Is there a way that when I press a button it will open a program, and when I press it again it will close that program? I know there is a way to do it, I just don't know how.

Basic, but does the trick.

It works to open the program, but it won't shut it down. Is there a way to close a specific program? I was thinking about if there was a command to stop a specific process, like you can do in the windows task manager

Maybe map a key to "alt + f4"?
Edit: Wait, you mean you want to close a program/window that does not have the focus? The above script opens/closes the window that's open.

Here's a way to do it even if the program you want to close isn't the active window:

Have a counter variable which increments anytime you open a program. Then have separate variables for each program you open that store the value of the counter when you opened that program. From that number you could know how many alt+tabs you need to do before you alt+f4.

There is probably a better way to do it though, because with what I am describing everything has to be opened through glovepie...otherwise the numbers will be off.
