Is there a keyboard shortcut for opening a tab in a new window on Chrome?

I'm aware this question was asked five years ago, but maybe there's been some changes since then. I'm also aware of the 'multiple keyboard shortcuts' that can be used.

In these days of sharing Zoom screens, I'm constantly finding myself right-clicking on tabs in order to open them in a new window. I find this a little fiddly - particularly if I'm using the trackpad.

Does a keyboard shortcut for this operation exist yet, or is CMD L, CMD C etc. still the only way to achieve this?

Shift+W opens existing Tab in a new window. Tested on several Chromium based browsers at Windows 10

If you want to open a new tab in the same chrome window simply press Ctrl+T

Assuming you don't indeed want to keep the same page opened twice in existing window + new window, you can simply drag & drop the tab out of the current browser window, opening a new one with only this tab. I've tested this with Edge, Firefox and Chrome and the behavior seems to be consistent across these browsers.
