i need shortcut key / hotkey change click on mouse. need create mouseless application (application can run without mouse). there solution case?

seems use hotkeys throughout in project of yours. may suggest jquery hotkeys creator of jquery. allows mapping combinations of keys various events.

in case, might want create hotkey event, when pressed said combination, trigger 'focus' (to focus on combobox) or 'click' (to open list) event on combobox.
