No, that does not work reliably. I tried it once, but it is so
flaky that I removed the code. Many applications don't accept
keyboard input when not focused.

While we are talking about simulating key presses: When the
pointer is already over the button you can as well simulate a
button press. It does not work perfectly either, but much
better than simulating key presses. Try

  Next (FvwmButtons) WarpToWindow <x> <y>
  FakeClick depth <d> press 1 release 1

<x>, <y> = coordinates of button inside the window
<d> = the 'depth' of the window that should receive the events,
      try 3 first and if that does not work, try higher values.
      1 would be the root window and 2 the frame window.
