Test key-board short-cuts using Cypress

I am trying to test keyboard short cuts. I tried using 'type' and 'trigger' assertions but they both are child assertions and I will have to pass a DOM element using a parent assertion such as cy.get(). I don't really need to select any DOM element as the test is for HOT-KEY login(I just need to press combination of keys). Can anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks.
