jquery contenteditable enter "How do I trigger shift-enter when someone presses enter?"

Question

When pressing enter in contenteditable in chrome, a div is inserted. This interferes with my markup, I need it to be a br.

I know that shift-enter is a br. What is the best way to solve the problem?

Thanks.

Reformulating the question: How do I trigger shift-enter when someone presses enter?

I've tried writing something like this:

$(document).keyup(function hotkeys(e) { 
 if (e.which == 13)
 {
  e = jQuery.Event("keydown")
  e.which = 16;
  $(document).trigger(e);
  e.which = 13;
  $(document).trigger(e);
  alert("trigger");
 }
});

It doesn't work.

Thanks.
