Google Chrome: Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a link in a new tab?

Question

Is is possible to open a link in a new background tab in Google Chrome with a keyboard shortcut?

(I know it's possible with Ctrl+click and middle click, and I know that Shift+Enter opens the link in a new browser window.)

"Ctrl + Enter" should work...

	Provided the cursor is active on the link, hover doesn't work – Sathya♦ Oct 3 '10 at 17:55
	Thanks a lot! I thought I had tried all possible keyboard combinations with the Enter key, but apparantly not the most obvious one. :) – Jan Aagaard Oct 3 '10 at 19:07
