CtrlT

CtrlT, commonly written as Ctrl+T, is a keyboard shortcut used across software to trigger opening a new tab or a tab-like interface. Its exact function depends on the application and platform. In many contexts it serves as a quick way to expand the current workspace without leaving the window.

In most Windows and Linux web browsers, pressing Ctrl+T opens a new tab in the current window. Supported browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. On macOS, the equivalent shortcut is Command+T rather than Ctrl+T, reflecting platform conventions. Some applications may remap Ctrl+T to another command or overlook the binding entirely, particularly if they implement a different tab or pane management scheme. Users can often customize keyboard shortcuts in their preferences.

Beyond web browsers, some software developers assign Ctrl+T to tab-related functions in their products, such as editors, terminals, or file managers, but there is no universal standard. The availability of Ctrl+T as a tab-related shortcut thus varies by program and user configuration.

CtrlT may also refer to product names, project identifiers, or branding used by various software ventures. There is no single canonical entity named CtrlT, so interpretations depend on context. When encountered, it is best to consult the specific application's documentation.
