Every time I start TF2, I do the exact same things:
- Launch the shortcut
- Wait for the screen to load (PC is useless meanwhile, can't ALT–TAB)
- Click "Find New Games"
- Click "Search" so I'm in the queue (map options are saved)
- ALT–TAB to windows until the TF2 icon flashes and I know I finally got a game.
How can I automate steps 1-4 so I can just launch the game and it automatically starts looking for the best game?

In theory you could run the console command

in the TF2 launch options, which would at least save you one click, but setting this as a launch option causes TF2 to crash on my PC. If anyone out there knows a way to get this to work, this might become a partial answer.
