Hi Emily,

You can make it keyboard accessible without providing a keyboard shortcut. Presumably there is something for a mouse user to click on in order to create the new tab. Browsers place a small button to the right of the last tab. You should provide keyboard access to this, even if you are also thinking of providing an optional keyboard shortcut.
