title: Trigger focus = false with jquery.hotkeys on input[type=text]
body: <p><a href="http://liveweave.com/tq7rwk" rel="nofollow">http://liveweave.com/tq7rwk</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to dynamically unfocus (focus = false) a textbox or textarea element?</p>
  
  <p>I tried triggering <a href="http://api.jquery.com/blur/" rel="nofollow">.blur</a> and <a href="http://api.jquery.com/focusout/" rel="nofollow">.focusut</a> but those only apply when it is focused out. It won't trigger a focus out event.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).bind('keydown', 'ctrl+1', function() {
    alert("hotkey triggered");
    if ( $(".txtbox").is(":focus") ) {
      $(".txtbox").trigger('focusout');
    }
  });
  </code></pre>
