How to simulate a keypress in js

How can I simulate a backtab in a js/jquery function?

I have a select2 function (Version: 3.4.6) with multiple selection, and it skips to to next field when I make a selection.

I have tried things like

$("[name=" + i + "]").select2('open');

and it doesn't work.

If I press a backtab the function does what I need. How do I simulate that?

var myEvent = jQuery.Event("keydown", { keyCode: 9 });
$("#myElement").trigger( myEvent );
