Is there a keyboard shortcut (or is there a way to create one without any extensions or third-party stuff) that opens a new tab next to the currently open tab?
For example, let's say I have 10 tabs in Chrome and I have tab 3 open. Is there a shortcut to open a new tab and have it be inserted in the tab 4 spot instead of being added at the end of the list of tabs (tab 11 spot in this example)?
I like being able to quickly open a new tab with command+t, but sometimes it is a pain to drag/rearrange my open tabs.

It looks like I've found a solution.
This blog post from August 26, 2011 describes how to open the next tab using the built-in browser tools.
Here is a quote from there (with small edits):
There is also a comment there telling how to do it using the bookmark:
From myself I will add that if the first parameter in
window.open()
is a link to the search engine with the pattern%s
, then you can perform a search at the same time as opening a new tab.Here is my example:
Here is the sequence of actions to use this feature:
Cmd-L
tt
Space (or Tab)Search query
Enter
