Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Several reproduction methods below 2. 3. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? When right clicking links in chrome (and most objects for that matter), prsesing "T" on the keyboard will open the link in a new tab as you can see in this picture https://i.imgur.com/oCN9P1i.png (the little underline under the letter "t" in "tab" on the right click pop up menu. I'll often use that combo together to open a lot of tabs at once (right hand on the mouse, left hand on the T button), saving a bunch of time. However, the shortcut is not implemented consistently throughout chrome. The biggest issue I found is when using bookmarks. Right clicking a bookmark from the menu and pressing T actually DELETES the bookmark instead of opening it. That's exactly the wrong functionality I've come to know and expect. This is what the menu looks like when right clicking a bookmark: https://i.imgur.com/zGd0lTp.png even though the D is underlines, pressing T still removes it. Don't believe me? Try it out for yourselves. As you know, there's no undo in the bookmark folder, so making this mistake is costly. It requires manually restoring old bookmark backups and wastes a bunch of time when all I wanted to do was open the bookmark in a new tab. Maybe not as importantly, but still worth pointing out is that when right clicking a "quasi-link" - things like <span> tags with javascript inside of them - an entirely different menu appears. See: https://i.imgur.com/81ZmuOZ.png. Pressing T on those menu's activate's Chrome's translate feature instead of activating the link. A good example of this is on Google's own page https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95315?hl=en. Right click the little red G. I also noticed that sometimes right clicking links before a page is fully loaded will activate the translate function also (but when the page is fully loaded, pressing T will open the link in a new tab as its supposed to) All of this shows how inconsistently the function keys have been implemented. I would love to see this fixed so that pressing T on any link/page/url/bookmark will always open it in new tab. Plain and simple. Did this work before?
