Hey, thanks for the report. This is a mismatch between the docs and the current behavior. In a recent update, the behavior of Cmd+Shift+N in the Agents Window changed, and now the shortcut opens an empty window instead of a window with the agent’s workspace context.

I’ve shared this with the team. There’s no ETA yet, but your report helps us prioritize it. As a workaround, you can open the folder manually via File > Open Folder after the window opens.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
