Scott, this is what the journalling hook in Windows allows you to do!
Check the documentation of SetWindowsHook for WH_JOURNALRECORD
and WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK.

Journalling records hardware input events *before* they are dispatched.
So if you set the focus to one window, record the input, then set
focus to a different window and playback, this should work.

NB: journalling also records mouse events, and they are screen-relative.
Be careful about using the mouse to select things while journalling...
