It is because of JavaScript that captures your clicks and, because of that, interferes with your keyboard shortcuts. If you disable JavaScript then shortcuts should start to work again. You can test it by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I (Developer tools), then clicking Settings (gear icon) and enabling option Disable JavaScript.

Browser: Ctrl+click to open tab not working (no context menu either) - Windows 10 Help Forums
Hi, This might not be a Windows 10 specific problem but I know it's also not a browser-specific problem either because I can reproduce it on several different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). I'm on website where I absolutely need to be able to open links in a separate tab but am unable to. Right-clicking for the context-menu doesn't display the usual 'open in a new tab' and Ctrl+click or Shift+click doesn't work either.

Otherwise, the right-click context menu is the best workaround. Sites often attach scripts to links to control what happens with them. If they intercept the click before Firefox processes it, they can ignore the Ctrl key and direct the link to open in the same tab.

r/mac on Reddit: How can I fix Control + Click?
October 19, 2022 -

Hi,

I have a Mac but also use an Amazon Workspace that runs Windows. I'm trying to get the keyboard controls to work properly. The only thing left to fix is Control + Click. Instead of doing what it's supposed to, it'd acting like I'm right-clicking. This prevents me from selecting multiple things at the same time which is really annoying.

I have Karabiner installed but haven't found a fix in there.

If anyone knows a way that I can get this to work properly, Please let me know. Thanks.

Ctrl-Click does not select file - Help & Support - Directory Opus Resource Centre
May 31, 2020 - Recently, Ctrl-left click does not allow me to selectively select individual files in a list of files. Nothing happens when I attempt to select a file using Ctrl-left click. The corollary is that I am unable to use Ctrl-left click to de-select individual files in a list of selected files.

July 5, 2023 - This fix is easy. Remove the original keyboard and connect a different keyboard and see if the issue shows up. If the Control key is still not working, it means the issue is not being caused by a physical issue.
