You may want to look here for a similar effect: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3872498/jquery-how-to-catch-keydown-mouse-click-event

However, if you are meaning that a user is to press:

Ctrl, /, and click at the same time, that may be more difficult. You also should consider if there is a simpler key combination for you to choose for the user's sake.

Edit:

I think I may have misunderstood what you are looking for, can you clean up the wording of your question?

I now think that you are meaning to simulate the keypress when a user clicks the link. If you are intending to use this to change the "zoom" or the text size on the page (ie: larger / smaller buttons), you should consider using em for text-sizes and then changing the top level font-size with css on the click.

This would allow you to provide the same functionality, but isn't a hackish way to get there.
