Need Javascript help to program a keystroke

Question

I need a Javascript file that, when executed, does the same thing as pressing the Home key.  When I am ready to despeckle a photo in Photoshop, I zoom to 60% and hit the home key which takes me to the top left corner of the image.  I have code to zoom to 60%, but I want to add the Home key in the action.  Can someone show me some code which does a keypress on the Home key?

Photoshop can create keyboard handlers to filter keystroke. However, it can not press a key or move the cursor or scroll a image within a window. The is no view menu item that duplicate view shortcuts like Home and End. So I do not think you can automate what you want to automate with an Action or Script. You can not even zoom to 60% with a Action or script, Zoom in, out. fit on screen, 100% , 200% yes, but 60% no.
