I think the following is paste but might be copy (cannot find my key
code
cheat sheet).
-------------------
tell application "System Events"
set frontApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is
true
end tell
tell application frontApp
activate
tell application "System Events"
key code 8 using command down --34 id for Dvorck keyboard
end tell
end tell
