ctrl-enter should open the url in the box in a new tab.

It instead adds www. to the front and .com on the end (which has not in my
experience resulted in a good url) and displays an error (alert "www.http is not
a registered protocol").

Mozilla behaves differently.  Is this a feature?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open any url, www.google.com for instance
2.decide to open another one in a different tab
3.press ctrl-enter in the url box (which will have the valid google url in it
already)

Actual Results:  
alert "www.http is not a registered protocol"

Expected Results:  
opened displayed url in a new tab

thanks

-> Invalid. 

The current behavior is intentional. Use Alt+Enter instead.
