I think in this particular case, the best option for steve is quoted above. Most gaming keyboards even have special keys (and software) for making such macro strokes (mine has a ton of them), and if he doesn't have a keyboard that supports it, I am sure there is 3rd party software out there that can easily do it. I think it might even be built into some versions of windows under accessibility options or somewhere like that.

Maybe something like this would work:
