Over in the BSD & Linux world I have "xdotool" which will generate
typing as well as mouse motions/clicks, potentially sending them to a
given target window. So I occasionally do things like

$ sleep $(( 60 * 10 )) ; xdotool click 1

to sleep for 10 minutes and then click the mouse button. Thus you
can invoke it from within vim as something like

:!sleep 3; xdotool type "This is text to type"

So it's not impossible conceptually. However, I don't know of
anything like xdotool over in the Windows world, so you'd have to
track down something that offers similar functionality.
