There is a useful command line application called xdotool which amongst other stuff, allows you to send keystrokes.

Thus - to mimic Control+Alt+D (or Super+D, or whatever the combination is you need), you can use one of the following commands:

xdotool key ctrl+alt+d

xdotool key ctrl+super+d

xdotool key super+d

To install:

sudo apt-get install xdotool
