New Chat (cmd + n) Results in previous chat's ongoing request being cancelled

Bug Reports

With sound notifications being a thing, it was my understanding that we have long-running chats that we can refer to after work is completed. However, when I’m pressing new chat and I have an ongoing conversation, it stops the previous chat’s process.

Is this intentional?

Steps to reproduce:
Use thinking model for easier testing
Ask a question in chat
Notice that we see thinking
Press cmd + n to open new chat
Go to previous chat and notice that request has been cancelled:

Hey, actually, Cmd + N starts a new chat in the same window, which means it resets the current session. If you want to create a new chat, try Cmd + T, this will also create a new tab in the chat window.

Yeah i had the same issue, couldnt find it in documentation and also Docu AI helper has no idea about it. Could you add it please?

ok found it in a different way, that page uses ⌘+T instead of CMD + T like the shortcuts are written otherwise.
