? Of course..?

I'm not 100 % sure what your question here is. Can you set up a command to 
press Alt-D? Yes. Can you set up a command that presses Alt-D, writes "d123" 
and releases the shortcut? Yes. (Shortcut to press, Text Macro to write, 
Shortcut to release, all wrapped in a Composite command).

Also consider some trigger magicL Say, you'd want all commands starting with 
"esofagite" to do the same thing, then you could set up a command to the 
trigger "esofagite %%1" to catch everything that matches the regexp "esofagite 
.*" (if you use one instead of two percent signs, it will only match a single 
word instead of arbitrary strings).

Best regards,
Peter
