That depends on what the function actually does. If it sends a single
command to blat a string, including control characters, to the target,
then yes, it's sending a string. But if, as my reading of the OP tells
me, the last one is "send press-Ctrl, send press-a, send release-a,
send release-Ctrl", then it's sending keys, and the name should say
so. And it's this method that the key-sender in the Yosemite project
uses (though, for hysterical raisins, its function is called "dokey" -
which I am NOT recommending).
