title: passing a keydown to another element
body: <p>I want to pass a keydown event to another element. Along the way I found that :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('input').keydown(function(e) {
      $('textarea').keydown()[0].focus();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works and that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('input').keydown(function(e) {
      setTimeout(function() { $('textarea').keydown()[0].focus(); }, 0);
  });​
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work. At least in Chrome.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway I want to do this with the second method as I want it to first be able to do a <code>ctrl+c</code> or <code>ctrl+x</code> on an input that has text selected and then jump to the textarea.</p>
  
  <h2><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/N7VBM/" rel="nofollow">Here's a DEMO to see what I mean.</a></h2>
  
  <p>Why doesn't the second way work? Also is there any way to accomplish this?</p>
