Opening a new tab within a tab panel while on a browser

Hi all--
Hoping you can help me out with this quandary we have. We have an application where users can add a new tab in a tab panel, much like how users can open a new tab within browser. What we are finding tricky is making the option to open a new tab within a tab panel keyboard accessible when on a browser.
Using CTRL + T will open a new browser tab, so what would be an intuitive and predictable option to create a tab within a tab panel?
Thank you!
Emily
