Way to trigger multiple keypress and hold events in jQuery

Question

Looking for a way to simulate a multiple keypress using jQuery. For example ALT+F1 (holding down alt and hitting F1).

I\'ve managed to simulate the F1 keypress thank

Answer 1

With the modifier keys alt, ctrl, and shift, you can use event modifiers specifically for them:

$(".f1").click(function() {
    var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
    e.which = 112;       // # F1 code value
    e.altKey = true;     // Alt key pressed
    $("input").trigger(e);
});
