Simulate a keyboard key when losing focus

Question

I would like to know how to do a simulation of a keyboard key (in my case the enter key), but in the case in Jquery.

But it has to simulate when leaving an input for example.

Follows link with another post of mine that has images related.

Answer 1

Use the event blur in the element that fires "Enter" when losing focus. And in the event capture, fire an event keypress with own information through the method trigger.

Sort of like this:

foo.blur(function () {
    var keypress = jQuery.Event("keypress");
    keypress.which = 13; // 13 é o codigo da tecla Enter
    keypress.keyCode = 13; // vide linha acima
    $(this).trigger(keypress);
});

Note that the above code simulates Enter pressed on the same component that lost focus. You can use another component according to your need ;)

Answer 2

Cannot simulate a specific key, only an event.

Perhaps if you could be more specific with your need there might be other solutions.

If you want to fire a function either by pressing enter or by taking the focus out of the field (If solve), something like this can help:

$('#id-do-seu-campo').on('keypress blur', function(event) {

    if((event.type == 'keypress' && event.keyCode == 13) || event.type == 'blur') {

        // Aqui você faz o quer que aconteça no pressionar do enter.

    }

});
