    $(".block").animate({"left": "+=500px"}, "slow");
});

$("#left").click(function(){
  $(".block").animate({"left": "-=50px"}, "slow");
});

//Control
$(document).keydown(function(e){
    if (e.keyCode == 37) { 
       alert( "left pressed" );
       return false;
    }
    if (e.keyCode == 38) { 
       alert( "up pressed " );
       return false;
    }
    if (e.keyCode == 39) { 
       alert( "right pressed " );
       return false;
    }
    if (e.keyCode == 40) { 
       alert( "down pressed " );

Place the code inside the if block like so...

if (e.keyCode == 40) { 
  $(".block").animate({"left": "-=50px"}, "slow");
}

Alternatively, you can call the click() on $('#left'), which would trigger its event handler.
