Hmm...IMHO we shouldn't believe in anyone's fingers in such a case :-).

Do you have a tool to fake user input? On X, we have xdotool. I've tried
to insert 100 <tab> and 100 <down> with 0.05s delay between each "keypress":

xdotool selectwindow ==> (record window ID)

seq 99 -1 0 | xargs -n1 sh -c 'xdotool key --window $ID 23 && sleep 0.05 && xdotool key 
--window $ID 116 && sleep 0.05'

(23 is X keycode for <tab> and <116> for <down>) and there was 100 <tab> and
100 <down>, respectively...
