How to press a key programmatically using jQuery or java script

Question

i want to press a key programatically using jQuery or javascript

i have tried the following

    var event = jQuery.Event('keypress');
    event.which = 144;
    event.keyCode = 144;
    jQuery(this).trigger(event);

Please include your full jquery code, what does `this` refer to in your code — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, Aug 14 '17 at 09:20

Which key you want to press? where? on which element? Share the relevant stuff. — Milan Chheda, Aug 14 '17 at 09:24

try this

.trigger();

you can use like this

var event = jQuery.Event( "submit" );
$( "form:first" ).trigger( event );
if ( event.isDefaultPrevented() ) {
   // Perform an action...
}
