var myFunction = function(event){
   console.debug(event);
   //do your stuff here
};
    $('#itemselected').on('keypress', function(event) { 
      myFunction(event);
}
$('#itemselected').on('click', function(event) { 
      myFunction(event);
}

Try to trigger the keypress on click

$('button').click(function() {
$('#itemselected').trigger('keypress');
});

I think you can just add 'click' to the list of event types like so:

$('#itemselected').on('keypress click', function() { 
      //some code which using $(this) also.
});
