Hi Sven,
You may be able to use the 'meta' command for this, eg:
(stumpwm::meta (kbd "C-M-o"))
will send a C-M-o keypress to the current window. However, this uses
XSendEvent, which is blocked by some applications for security
reasons. If this doesn't work, you may want to try XTest. There's a
thread describing its use with stumpwm here:
