Can xbindkey simulate multiple serial keystrokes?

Suppose I want to assign F1 to do 2 things in succession, such as:

  1. Raise my browser window (using wmctrl perhaps - which is already bound to another key binding like F8)
  2. Bring focus to tab 1 (which is achieved with "Ctrl 1" in my browser of choice)

Can xbindkey syntax achieve this? Something like this:

"F8, Control + 1"
   F1

Xbindkeys maps key presses to commands. To get it to simulate key presses, you'll need to use a program like XMacro.
