This PR's goal is to improve discoverability of how Zed "remembers" the currently selected agent when hitting cmd-n (or ctrl-n). Hitting that binding starts a new thread with whatever agent is currently selected.

  • agent: Improved discoverability of the cmd-n keybinding to create a new thread with the currently selected agent.
