I am new to blender and I am using the newest version. Trying to follow the blender guru's tutorial for the donut scene. I found a hotkey online for subdivision surface because it wasn't available in the list of modifiers. But I haven't had such luck with finding a hotkey for solidify but it is also not including in my list of modifiers.

When I tried looking for subdivision surface, the object was a torus. Ctrl 1 worked for this so I was able to move on but it wasn't on the list of modifiers.

Now I am trying to add thickness to the icing on the donut, which is really half of a torus, solidify is not on the list of modifiers.

Select your object and click the spanner/wrench in the properties sidebar and then the Add Modifier dropdown: enter image description here

The Solidifer and Subdivision Surface entries are arrowed below: enter image description here

As methaphor_set commented totally right:

The modifier list is based on the object type.

So e.g. a lattice does not have a subdivision surface modifier.

enter image description here

a light has no modifiers at all

enter image description here

so you should improve your question and tell us which object you have selected.
