Create a click event on a child element

Given a component defined like:



export default class KeyboardShortcut extends React.Component 
componentDidMount()
window.addEventListener('keydown', e => this.handleKeyDown(e));


componentWillUnmount()
window.removeEventListener('keydown', this.handleKeyDown);


handleKeyDown(e)
if (e.key === 'c')
// what goes here?



render()
return this.props.children




How do I generate, or trigger, a click event on the children when the type of keyboard event being handled in handleKeyDown (i.e., the pressing of the letter c) happens?

  • Depends on what children is. There may be no easy way, or you may have XY problem. Please, provide stackoverflow.com/help/mcve
