Add a shortcut to open Focus Search results in a new tab

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

First off, thank you for creating such a great browser with Zen Browser!

I am a frequent user of the Focus Search feature, and it's incredibly efficient for quick lookups. However, the current behavior is that search results always open in the current tab. This interrupts my Browse session or workflow. If I want to keep my current page open, I have to navigate back or manually re-open the original page, which can be disruptive.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to suggest adding a new, separate keyboard shortcut for the Focus Search feature that opens the results in a new tab instead of the current one.

Suggested Workflow:

1. The user presses a new shortcut (e.g., if the current one is Cmd/Ctrl + K, the new one could be Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + K).
2. The Focus Search bar appears (same as the current behavior).
3. The user types their query and hits Enter.
4. The search results open in a new background tab, while the current tab remains active and in focus.

This would allow users to perform quick searches without leaving their current context, significantly improving multitasking efficiency. And thank you again for all your hard work on Zen Browser!

Hey, when you've selected the query if instead of Enter you hit Cmd+Shift+Enter – this should open a new tab in the background.
