Google Chrome shortcut for opening link on new tab? [duplicate]

Is there a google chrome shortcut for opening a link on a new tab so we don't have to right-clivk? I'm looking at something like ctrl+click link and then page will open on a new tab similar to the way we can shift+click link to open page in a new window.

Yes - Google Chrome acts in just the way you describe. Ctrl + clicking a link will open it in a new tab.

Chrome opens links in a new tab like any other browser:

  • by pressing the middle mouse button
  • by holding CTRL while left-clicking

The same question has been answered here:Google Chrome: Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a link in a new tab?

You can do that with Ctrl + Enter.
