It would be nice if you hit Ctrl+Enter that it opens it in a new tab Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

I don't know if it the modifier for opening a new tab for a search should be Ctrl (like almost everything else), Alt (like the address bar, which is different so Ctrl+enter can add www. and .com like IE), or both.

Control click on a link opens a new tab and also the googlebar uses the same key combo. So my vote remains Ctrl

Alt-Enter already does this, which is consistent with the URL bar and will not be changed.
