# Ways to Create Objects
|
||
|
||
### Navigation menu
|
||
|
||
When clicking the plus-button, you’ll be presented with a menu of standard types, plus your most recently-used Types. You can then choose which one you want to create.
|
||
|
||
This behavior can be changed in your [vault settings](../vault-and-key/account-and-data.md#preferences) to either hover or right-click. Both of these alternative settings will change the behavior of the left-click to immediately create a new object with the type that is set as your default object type in your space settings. 
|
||
|
||
The hover setting will additionally show the original menu after you hover over the `+` button for a few seconds, while the right-click setting will require you to right-click the `+` button instead.

|
||
### Forward Slash Command
|
||
|
||
When working in Anytype you can create a new Object by typing the "/". This will bring up the list of Objects that you have created. Simply select the Object you'd like to create and it will be linked at your current place.

|
||
|
||
You can also link to an existing Object here.
|
||
|
||
### Use a Shortcut
|
||
|
||
For a quick creation of a new Object, you can use this shortcut: ⌘+N
|
||
|
||
This will perform the same action as clicking the "+" sign in the navigation bar.
|
||
|
||
### Turn Into Object
|
||
|
||
If you are working on something in an existing Object and would like to transform only a certain block into an Object, you can do that through the action menu by either:
|
||
|
||
1. Hovering to the left side of the block that you are working on and clicking the 3 dots.
|
||
2. Using the ⌘+/ keyboard shortcut.
