You could try something like:
window.location = $('.mylink').attr('href');
If you have more than one item with the class mylink, the first one will always be used

.trigger() like .click() can only work if you defined an event handler using .bind()(or .live()or .on() and all shortcuts available) methods.
try instead
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 103) //G key is pressed
{
alert("g key is pressed");
location.href = $('mylink').attr('href');
}
});

This seems to work for the key g
$(document).on('keydown', function(evt) {
if (evt.keyCode == 71) //G key is pressed
{
window.location = "http://"+$('.mylink').attr("href");
}
});

It works fine, thanks but I wonder whats wrong with trigger function?

.trigger() triggers a specific event bound to the link. If you do not have a function bound to an item's keyup event, you cannot trigger said keyup event..
