Shortcut for making a new window in Safari Whenever I use the new window shortcut in Safari, it creates a new tab instead of a new window. This most likely happens due to my having chosen the setting System Preferences &gt; Dock &gt; Prefer tabs when opening documents: &gt; Always checked.

However, strangely enough, clicking on the menu bar item File &gt; New Window seems to create a new window normally – not a new tab.

Is it possible to create a new tab with the shortcut?
In macOS Sierra 10.12.3, by default the keyboard shortcut to open a new window in most apps is ⌘N, however when one changes the default setting in System Preferences > Dock > Prefer tabs when opening documents: from In Full Screen Only to Always the New Window keyboard shortcut is changed to ⌥⌘N.
