# New tab picker

By default, `Cmd+T` on macOS or `Ctrl+T` on Windows and Linux opens Solo's new-item palette for quickly creating something in the active project. You can remap or disable this shortcut in **Settings** > **Hotkeys**.

Depending on your project and enabled features, you can:

- Create a [new command](../commands/adding-removing.md)
- Create a [new terminal](../terminal/basics.md)
- Create an [agent](../agents/launching-agents.md), including custom flags when available
- Create or import a [scratchpad](../scratchpads/using-scratchpads.md)
- Create a [todo](../todos/using-todos.md)

When you are focused on an agent, `Cmd+T` defaults to selecting the same type of agent. For example, if you're using a Codex agent and hit `Cmd+T`, the default selection in the palette is Codex.

The picker requires an active project. It does not mix in rename or navigation actions. Its only application action is **Configure custom agent**, listed under **Application**, which opens **Settings > Agents > Agent tools** so you can [add a custom agent](../agents/adding-custom-agents.md).

## Agent-only picker

When a project's Agents section is empty, clicking **Add agent** can open a narrower version of the New picker. If the project has several runnable agent tools, this picker shows only the available agents and their custom-flags variants. If exactly one agent tool is available, Solo starts it directly instead.
