is it possible to trigger two events at once

Question

objb.on('focus', function() {
    some code
});

objb.on('keydown', function() {
    same code as above
});

To avoid the repeating I tried:

objb.on('focus, keydown', function() {
    some code
});

Doesn't work. Is it possible this way?

Almost - when you want to use .on to listen for multiple events, separate the event names with a plain space, not a comma:

const objb = $('.objb');
objb.on('focus keydown', function() {
  console.log('listener running');
});

<textarea class="objb"></textarea>
