           Summary: Ctrl+click and shift+click should open the folder in a
                    new tab and a new window respectively

SUMMARY
At the moment, open a folder in a new window or a new folder requires two mouse
clicks (the right-click to open the context menu and a left-click to select the
desired option): shortcuts for these actions could be very helpful when
browsing multiple folders at same time.
The decision to suggest ctrl+click to open the folder in a new tab and
shift+click to open it in a new windows comes from the shortcuts used by most
web browsers (at least Firefox, Chrome and Chromium): in this way the user will
be already familiar with these.
I also suggest to add an option to disable and/or re-map these shortcut, but my
idea is to enable them by default.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on a folder in Dolphin in order to open it, while keep pressed ctrl or
shift key

OBSERVED RESULT
The folder opens in the same window and tab it was before

EXPECTED RESULT
If the ctrl key is pressed during the click the folder should be opened in a
new tab of the same dolphin window, otherwise, if the shift key is pressed, a
new dolphin window should be opened showing the folder that has been clicked.
