As the keypress event isn't covered by any official specification, the actual behavior encountered when using it may differ across browsers, browser versions, and platforms.

$(document).keydown(function(event) {
  if (event.keyCode || event.which === 13) {
    // Cancel the default action, if needed
    event.preventDefault();
    //call function, trigger events and everything tou want to dd . ex : Trigger the button element with a click
    $("#btn").trigger('click');
  }
})

I hope it would be useful!
