You can use javascript executor for this :-

IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
js.ExecuteScript("window.open('https://www.google.com','_blank');");



namespace ConsoleApp5
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {


 IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://google.com");
            IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
          js.ExecuteScript("window.open();");
        }
    }
}

Find body and then send keys.

static void Main(string[] args) {
  IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("body")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t");
  driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());
  driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com")
}
