Sending Keys to background apps.

Hello Everyone =) I am using VMWare Fusion to run Windows XP (ya ya I know) in order to run the Windows version of Ventrilo (A VOIP Application). My problem revolves around the need to have a "Push to talk" key. To talk I need to press the tilde key and hold it for as long as I wish to talk. This works great when the application is in the foreground. The minute I launch another application (World of Warcraft) and it takes the foreground, Ventrilo no longer sees the "~" keypress and I am forced to "task switch" to talk. I have gotten pretty good at this "work around" but it still bugs the heck out of me ans VMware support is not helping.

Ok enough rambling. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me devise a way for a script to intercept the "~" key and pass it to VMware. The script would need to detect whether the key was held down and keep it down until the key is lifted. Any ideas out there or better yet.. anyone had this issue already and solved it? Any help would be welcome.
