Sorry step 2 is 
"driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t");"

This workaround works for me:

new 
Actions(window).keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).click(element).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).build()
.perform();

In other words, use CTRL+LMB to open links in a new tab. Use CTRL+SHIFT+LMB to 
open links in a new tab, and also shift focus to the new tab.

This is a limitation in the way we simulate keyboard input in ChromeDriver. 
Keys get sent directly to the render process, bypassing the browser process. So 
any keyboard shortcut handlers in the browser process will not be invoked by 
sendKeys().
