Steps to repro:
Check “Open all external links in a new tab” in preferences.
Open an external link using a mouse - it opens in a new tab as expected.
Open an external link using the keyboard. It opens in the current tab.

My point is that if my preferences are set to “Open all external links in a new tab”, I would expect that to be honoured whether I click the link with the mouse or press Enter on a keyboard.
Yes, I can use Ctrl + Enter to open a link in a new tab, just as I can use right-click or middle click to open a link in a new tab with a mouse. But with my preferences set as they are, that shouldn’t be necessary.
