In case you’re ever wondering, here is a full list of the “key modified clicks” that the major browsers look for:

(Note that on Windows, “cmd” is “ctrl”)

Chrome, Firefox:  
shift: new active window  
cmd: new tab  
cmd-shift: new active tab

Safari:  
cmd: new tab  
cmd-shift: new active tab  
cmd-opt: new window  
cmd-opt-shift: new active window

IE:  
shift: new active window  
ctrl-shift: new active tab

Note that you also need to deal with right clicks and “open in new window”, “open in new tab”, etc….
