Gavin,
Please reconsider this issue.

Allowing both ctrl- and alt-enter opening a new tab would accommodate
all concerns and reservations expressed in this thread.

Currently ctrl-enter in the address bar has no different effect than
enter by itself, so this change would satisfy all parties.

  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Bug description:
  There are currently too many shortcuts when opening a link in a new
  tab:

   - location bar: <ALT> + <ENTER>
   - GO button: <CTRL> + click
   - search bar: <CTRL> + <ENTER>
   - SEARCH button <ALT> + click
   - links: <SHIFT> + click
   - menu bar: <CTRL> + click
   - BACKWARD/FORWARD button: <CTRL> + click

  This is one of the reasons I'm keeping with Opera. There it is always
  the shift key and I have to remember only one key.

  Thanks for reading!
