I assume you meant faking the pressing of a key on the keyboard. You can't do that directly, no, but you can sort-of call the keylisteners on any particular object.
For example, let's say you have a TextBox instance called 'textBox', and you want to simulate pressing the 'X' button. You'll need to do two things: 1) Simulate the effect of the X button on the textBox itself, which means updating the text inside by inserting an X at the current cursor position. 2) Call all keyboardlisteners on textBox. #2 can be done with some technically nonsupported hackery - each implementation of SourcesKeyboardEvents in GWT at least has an internal private object of type 'KeyboardListeners', called 'keyboardListeners'. While its private, you can still get at it via JSNI (look that up) which doesn't know about 'private' and thus allows it. Once you have the keyboardListeners, which is really just an ArrayList, you can loop through them and fire the appropriate call (e.g. onKeyPress) on all of them. The reason GWT doesn't support this directly is because javascript doesn't support it either. GWT isn't magic; it cannot make things that are impossible on the target platform possible.
