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?
