Question

Is it possible to assign the return key as a shortcut for an anchor. Just like when submitting a form if one of the input fields are on focus.
I have looked a little at the jQuery hotkeys but since I’m lacking some skills in js I can’t quite figure it out.

My plan is that when the page loads the user can just press enter. Then an action will be performed followed by a redirect. I’m trying to do this

Reason for doing this is that I believe it’s a lot faster for the user to press enter than to move the cursor and click on the link before the actual action takes place.

Answer 1

Much more simple will be to auto focus the link:

window.onload = function() {
    document.getElementById("changeStatusLink").focus();
}

No jQuery is required and as it’s focused, Enter press will trigger the click event.
