i worked around this by creating a bookmarklet with location set to "javascript:window.open('about:blank');void(0);" and assigning a keyword to it, 't' in my case.
if i need a new tab next to the current, i either click the bookmarklet or type 'ctrl+l', 't', 'return'.
i hope this helps some of you who might not want to install an addon for basic functionality.
i would still prefer an option to enable this behaviour natively.
