.trigger() like .click() can only work if you defined an event handler using .bind()(or .live()or .on() and all shortcuts available) methods.

try instead

$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 103) //G key is pressed
    {
       alert("g key is pressed");
       location.href = $('mylink').attr('href');
    }
});
