jQuery jQuery.event.trigger({ type : 'keypress', ...

[skynet]

I'm trying to simulate the combination of the keydown/keypress events 'ctrl' and '+', with

var e=jQuery.Event("keydown",{keyCode:17} && jQuery.Event("keypress",{keyCode:107}));
jQuery("body").trigger(e);

Anyone who can help me to correct this ?

This is just wrong. Logical and (&&) always results in a boolean, so your code is actually the same as

var e=jQuery.Event("keydown", true);
jQuery("body").trigger(e);

which is obviously not going to do what you want.

The whole thing looks like you don't have much experience with programming in general. With trial and error, you won't get very far.

Anyway, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish here, but it's probably not going to work: Triggering key events programmatically will simulate those events, meaning it will trigger your own custom event handlers you have bound before. It will never write any actual letters to the screen or trigger any keyboard shortcuts in your browser.
