Yes, I would call this trick “CooL” .. It really is.
It works like this, suppose you have google.com open on a tab, and you want to open yahoo.com on another tab, what you usually do is, open a new tab by clicking the ‘+’ icon, and type in the address, and hit enter. Right ?

Instead of this, what if you could type in yahoo.com on the current tab ( where you have google.com open ) hit ALT and Enter key together, and open it on a different tab ? In other words, you are on a tab, you enter a different address or a search keyword on the addressbar, and you get it open in a new tab.
Like it ? I did ! Try it, you will definitely like it !!

(like tabmixplus for firefox)
hi, sorry, I didnt understand your question !
Wanting to know how to do this as well. What amir means is, how can we make it the default behavior to always open addresses in a new tab without having to do a key combo or some other nonsense. TabMixPlus is a popular addon for firefox that allows you to set what things are automatically opened in a new tab as well as many other things.
