It depends on what you are doing.

I assume you mean key macros? If you use jwm, that can be custom programmed.

You could ask for an extension that does this such as autokey http://autokey.sourceforge.net/ (shameless plug for my son who is the author).

Input redirection and expect scripts are other methods.
It depends on what needs the keystrokes.

Google for xtest, that is the extension apps can use to simulate input events. IIRC there are many apps using that.
