Could you try $ fusuma-sendkey LEFTCTRL+T on terminal?
from fusuma-plugin-sendkey.

Do you have any errors in terminal?
Please update fusuma and all fusuma-plugins. (I noticed you are using fusuma v2.3.0)
from fusuma-plugin-sendkey.

Seems like the AUR for fusuma was slightly out-of-date then. Anyhow, I updated fusuma and its plugins:
fusuma (2.4.1, 2.3.0)
fusuma-plugin-sendkey (0.6.4)
fusuma-plugin-wmctrl (1.1.0)
sadly the same issue still persists, and there is no error or output at all in the terminal.
Possibly worth noting is that I am on an M1 macbook with asahi linux, however since xorg seems to be working fine and the other plugin works, sendkey should maybe also work? I'm not too sure how this stuff works internally ^^"

I believe fusuma-plugin-sendkey will work in your environment.
Fusuma sendkey sends events using evdev protocol.
Evdev is generic event protocol for Linux input devices. So your real Apple keyboard should also send key events using evdev.
You can see the raw events of evdev in $ cat /dev/input/eventXX. (device file, XX is auto-assigned number)
Also, since libinput uses evdev as its source, it is useful to know keys code and event device's number sent by libinput debug-events --show-keycodes or libinput list-devices

event3 is my keyboard device number, /dev/inputs/event3 is device file.
fusuma-sendkey writes key events to event device (/dev/inputs/event3), it behaves like real keyboard events.
Could you paste output of libinput list-devices and libinput debug-events --show-keycodes?
from fusuma-plugin-sendkey.

I had a similar problem, and after expending the better part of yesterday investigating the cause, I found something that may be useful for @Sorunome or anyone else that comes across a similar issue.

A little bit of backstory first (go to the end for the solution):
I had been using Fusuma for a while without problems, but when I changed my laptop it stopped working altogether. The main Fusuma process and fusuma-sendkey both started without any errors, but the keypresses were not being sent.
So after googling for an answer and not finding any, I decided to download this repo and debug a little bit what was happening. With the repo on one side and libinput list-devices on the other, I found that fusuma-sendkey sends the keycodes to the first device that matches a keyboard regex and on my system there were 3(!) of them.
This finding led me to manually set other inputs (such as input/event5) and run fusuma-sendkey with it. And it worked!
Afterwards, I went into a rabbit hole of documentation and blogposts talking about inputs and udev rules that led me nowhere. I tried to rename the input (not possible) and later to remove it completely (or at least not recognized by libinput).
But I discovered something: certain keys were only being handled by input/event4 and others by input/event5 and some of them by both!. For example, KEY_KBDILLUMUP worked only on event4, any alphabet letter only on event5 and KEY_F21 on both.
With this newfound knowledge, I remembered other tools that I had tried before and worked, such as ydotool. Ydotool is set up a little differently in that it requires a constantly running daemon to function. Looking into its code I found that it was creating a new virtual input device when starting the daemon.
So my solution was to create a dummy virtual keyboard and configure it in fusuma.yml (sendkey_executor:device_name) to point to that device.
For that, I made a simple console tool that can be run as a daemon to create a virtual keyboard.

@fneirotti that is a great answer, it helped me find a solution. Thanks a lot!
Running 'libinput list-devices' displays all devices, then I tried a different one that seemd like a keyboard.
