I don't think the terminal function in the Elecraft Utility was intended for
this sort of use. It was meant for testing out command sequences. Why, may I
ask, are you using it like this? There are various other programs that can
send CW from the keyboard, with the kind of macro support you are
requesting, including my own program KComm.
