截至2019年，这个解决方案对我来说是有效的:

document.dispatchEvent(
  new KeyboardEvent("keydown", {
    key: "e",
    keyCode: 69, // example values.
    code: "KeyE", // put everything you need in this object.
    which: 69,
    shiftKey: false, // you don't need to include values
    ctrlKey: false,  // if you aren't going to use them.
    metaKey: false   // these are here for example's sake.
  })
);

为了支持带有模拟键盘的移动设备，我在自己的浏览器游戏中使用了这种方法。

澄清:这段代码分派一个keydown事件，而真正的按键将触发一个keydown事件(如果按住时间较长，则会触发多个keydown事件)，然后在释放该键时触发一个keyup事件。如果您也需要keyup事件，也可以通过在代码片段中将“keydown”更改为“keyup”来模拟keyup事件。

这也会将事件发送到整个网页，也就是文档。如果只希望特定元素接收事件，可以用document代替所需元素。

我知道这个问题要求一个javascript的方式来模拟一个按键。但是对于那些正在寻找jQuery方法的人来说:

var e = jQuery.Event("keypress");
e.which = 13 //or e.keyCode = 13 that simulates an <ENTER>
$("#element_id").trigger(e); 

我想模拟按Tab键……扩展Trevor的回答，我们可以看到像“tab”这样的特殊键确实会被按下，但我们看不到按“tab”会产生的实际结果……

尝试与调度这些事件的'activeElement'以及全局文档对象都-代码添加下面;

代码片段如下:

var element = document.getElementById("firstInput"); document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) { console.log('we got key:', event.key, ' keyCode:', event.keyCode, ' charCode:', event.charCode); /* enter is pressed */ if (event.keyCode == 13) { console.log('enter pressed:', event); theKey = 'Tab'; attributes = { bubbles: true, key: theKey, keyCode: 9, charCode: 0, }; setTimeout(function() { /* event.keyCode = 13; event.target.value += 'b'; */ var e = new window.KeyboardEvent('focus', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keydown', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('beforeinput', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keypress', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('input', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('change', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keyup', attributes); document.activeElement.dispatchEvent(e); }, 4); setTimeout(function() { var e = new window.KeyboardEvent('focus', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keydown', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('beforeinput', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keypress', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('input', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('change', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); e = new window.KeyboardEvent('keyup', attributes); document.dispatchEvent(e); }, 100); } else if (event.keyCode != 0) { console.log('we got a non-enter press...: :', event.key, ' keyCode:', event.keyCode, ' charCode:', event.charCode); } }); <h2>convert each enter to a tab in JavaScript... check console for output</h2> <h3>we dispatchEvents on the activeElement... and the global element as well</h3> <input type='text' id='firstInput' /> <input type='text' id='secondInput' /> <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = Date()"> Click me to display Date and Time.</button> <p id="demo"></p>

你可以使用dispatchEvent():

function simulateKeyPress() {
  var evt = document.createEvent("KeyboardEvent");
  evt.initKeyboardEvent("keypress", true, true, window,
                    0, 0, 0, 0,
                    0, "e".charCodeAt(0))
  var body = document.body;
  var canceled = !body.dispatchEvent(evt);
  if(canceled) {
    // A handler called preventDefault
    alert("canceled");
  } else {
    // None of the handlers called preventDefault
    alert("not canceled");
  }
}

我没有对此进行测试，但它改编自dispatchEvent()文档中的代码。您可能需要通读这些文档，以及createEvent()和initKeyEvent()的文档。

您可以创建和分派键盘事件，它们将触发相应的已注册事件处理程序，但是，如果分派到input元素，则不会产生任何文本。

要完全模拟文本输入，您需要生成一系列键盘事件，并显式地设置input元素的文本。事件的顺序取决于模拟文本输入的彻底程度。

最简单的形式是:

$('input').val('123');
$('input').change();

这种方法支持跨浏览器更改键代码的值。 源

var $textBox = $("#myTextBox");

var press = jQuery.Event("keypress");
press.altGraphKey = false;
press.altKey = false;
press.bubbles = true;
press.cancelBubble = false;
press.cancelable = true;
press.charCode = 13;
press.clipboardData = undefined;
press.ctrlKey = false;
press.currentTarget = $textBox[0];
press.defaultPrevented = false;
press.detail = 0;
press.eventPhase = 2;
press.keyCode = 13;
press.keyIdentifier = "";
press.keyLocation = 0;
press.layerX = 0;
press.layerY = 0;
press.metaKey = false;
press.pageX = 0;
press.pageY = 0;
press.returnValue = true;
press.shiftKey = false;
press.srcElement = $textBox[0];
press.target = $textBox[0];
press.type = "keypress";
press.view = Window;
press.which = 13;

$textBox.trigger(press);
