Everyone who knows hotkeys does this.
This what? Ctrl+T -> Type -> Enter or Ctrl+L -> Type -> Alt+Enter?
Personally I do know the hotkeys and I know that Alt+Enter opens the url in a new tab, but I never use the second one. That's why I was asking.
Ctrl + L, you don't wanna remember 2 different hot keys for new tab and replace (current tab's) url
