Description

I am on macOS and Chrome.

After typing o, and some url, I can open a new tab with Shift+<enter>. Is it possible to achieve that with Command+<enter>? It is more natural on macOS.

Note that O is irrelevant to this dicussion.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating the keyboard handling for opening a new tab after typing o and a URL, then compare the existing Shift+Enter behavior with macOS Command+Enter handling. Verify the change in Chrome on macOS by confirming that Command+Enter opens the URL in a new tab.
