I want when a person presses the shift key a tab opens and the previous one closes but I can not.

<script>
    function keyCode(event) {
        var x = event.keyCode;
        var y = event.keyCode;
        if (x == 16) {  // 16 is the Shift key

           window.open('https://google.com.br' ,  '_blank')

           Window.close();
        }
    }
</script>

But it only opens and does not close the previous one.

javascript

When you open the window, focus shifts to it, and the close () method is ignored.

Place this code in the window that was opened (child):

 window.opener.close();

This will close the window that opened it (mother).
