It's present in my version of tmux (1.7), from the man page:
send-keys [-lR] [-t target-pane] key ...
(alias: send)
Send a key or keys to a window. Each argument key is the name of the
key (such as ‘C-a’ or ‘npage’ ) to send; if the string is not recognised
as a key, it is sent as a series of characters. The -l flag disables key
name lookup and sends the keys literally. All arguments are sent
sequentially from first to last. The -R flag causes the terminal state
to be reset.
cheers,
Toby
