What Changed

Changed the shortcut shown for the command palette's current-project new thread action from chat.new to chat.newLocal, matching the action's behavior.

Why

The shortcut hint was misleading. The command palette action creates a thread directly in the current project, but it displayed the chat.new binding (Command+Shift+O), which represents the project-picker flow. Its behavior matches chat.newLocal (Command+Shift+N) instead.

This is the command palette counterpart to #5594, which established the same distinction for the sidebar's new thread button.

Note

Low Risk
Single property change on a command palette action label; no behavior or keybinding logic changes.

Overview
Updates the command palette “New thread in …” action so its keyboard hint uses chat.newLocal instead of chat.new.

That action still calls startNewThreadFromContext and creates a thread in the active project without the project-picker flow. The displayed shortcut now matches that behavior (and the sidebar’s in-project new-thread label), rather than showing the chat.new binding meant for picking a project.

[!NOTE]

Fix new thread shortcut in CommandPalette to use chat.newLocal

Updates the shortcutCommand property for the 'New thread' action in the OpenCommandPaletteDialog component from chat.new to chat.newLocal. This corrects the shortcut identifier so it matches the actual command.

Macroscope summarized d4f0d21.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 162a6df

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a contained one-line UI correction that makes the existing active-project thread action display its dedicated chat.newLocal shortcut. The action logic and broader application behavior remain unchanged.
