Is there any way to send input via keystroke/macro to a specified application?

As the title states... I was wondering if there is any way to set up a key/macro on CUE such that it will send input to an application that we specify rather than the application that currently has focus, so one send a mouse click or a "w," etc. to an application without having to actually bring it to the foreground?

not really without giving it focus for a moment. You can *possibly* do that with autohotkey but I have not tried, this seems to detail it well enough:

Seems the controlsend feature detailed here:

https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlSend.htm

 

is what you want.
