@Test

public void testMeNow() throws Exception {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/Users/akashaggarwal/Documents/geckodriver");

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

Thread.sleep(10000);

List <WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.className("anything"));

System.out.println("***************Size is "+elements.size());

WebElement e=elements.get(0);

Actions newwin = new Actions(driver);

newwin.keyDown(Keys.COMMAND).click(e).keyUp(Keys.COMMAND).build().perform();

}

}

Why don't you try robot keyboard action. Something like

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T );
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T );
Thread.sleep(500);

**Not recommend approach it's a work around
