So this might by good script - but in windows isn't work 
Here is the script for AppleScript:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"
set selList to selection --assumes more than one item selected
tell document 1
align align distribute items selList align option horizontal centers
align align distribute items selList align option vertical centers
end tell
end tell
Put the script with your scripts in the Scripts panel and give it a keyboard shortcut (maybe Command + Shift + A) for one-stroke functionality. Keyboard Shortcuts are found under Edit in InDesign's menu.

So we can close ticket as it is fixed
It's greate! but - objects are moving from place.
I was posted script maded by: Peter Kahrel​ which is more useful.
But thank you for advice It's pretty nice to recive some help.

Hi Jaroslaw,
they do because there is no selectionKeyObject in the selection.
And it is also not defined in the script by Michel. Assumption: Neither it is defined by the user, you.
Michel's script run on two objects selected where no selectionKeyObject is applied to the selection:
If Michel's script would work with selectionKeyObject and selectionKeyObject would have been defined by the user with an extra click:
Note: method align() has 4 arguments that are relevant if there is a selectionKeyObject.
If there is and you are using Michel's script it will throw an error message.
Here a different version of Michel's script that is working with or without a selectionKeyObject:
( function()
{
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
app.doScript
(
alignCenterCenter,
ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT,
[],
UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT,
"Align Selection Center-Center | SCRIPT"
);
function alignCenterCenter()
{
if( app.documents.length == 0 ){ return };
if( app.selection.length < 2 ){ return };
var doc = app.activeDocument;
if( doc.selectionKeyObject == null )
{
doc.align( app.selection , AlignOptions.HORIZONTAL_CENTERS );
doc.align( app.selection , AlignOptions.VERTICAL_CENTERS );
return;
}
doc.align( app.selection , AlignOptions.HORIZONTAL_CENTERS , AlignDistributeBounds.KEY_OBJECT , doc.selectionKeyObject );
doc.align( app.selection , AlignOptions.VERTICAL_CENTERS , AlignDistributeBounds.KEY_OBJECT , doc.selectionKeyObject );
};
}() )
Regards,
Uwe
Thank you But Peter script automatically set "key object" as first selected item.
So there isn't necessary to choose from panel align "key object" simply this making script maded by Peter.
