I'm not trying to be obstinate. If I ask a question the first time I'm going to ask it again when ignored because the answer would be genuinely useful.

Nearly all applications filter out that kind of induced key-event for security reasons. This is why faking a usable, 'real' key event is fairly difficult and means reconfiguring things in advance to allow for it (see matchbox-keyboard) -- it means feeding X11 an entire fake keyboard device to generate 'real' events. But depending on what the ultimate goal is you may not need to fake a key event, what is it? What does fn-scroll-lock even mean? most keyboards have no fn-key, and the fn-key is generally not mapped to a real key if it does, instead producing key combinations that could be completely different keys.

NAME

       pacman - the game of pacman

SYNOPSIS

       pacman [grey]

DESCRIPTION

       Pacman is an old action game.

       You  are  Pacman,  and  you  are  supposed  to eat all the small dots to get to the next level. You are also supposed to keep away from the
       ghosts, if they take you, you lose one life, unless you have eaten a large dot, then you can, for a limited amount of time, chase  and  eat
       the ghosts. There is also bonus available, for a limited amount of time. An X gives just points, but a little pacman gives an extra life.

       You use either keyboard or mouse. Default from start is keyboard.

       Keyboard mode: To move use arrows, to quit, press q, to use mouse, press m.

       Mouse mode: To move, move mouse, to quit, press RButton, to use keyboard, press LButton.

       Details: When pacman has moved to a new place, if you want it to change it's moving direction, hit key/move mouse until it has moved.

OPTIONS

       grey    To start in grey mode instead of the default color.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY To get default display.
