As mentioned on the linked page, http://docs.new, http://sheets.new, and http://slides.new exist as shortcuts to get to a new google doc, but it doesn't play well with Chrome's address bar - using them makes getting to existing docs and sheets take an extra step. Not the worst, but still, kind of annoying.
If you have a both a personal gmail account and a for-work "google for business" account - the shortcut will take you to whatever account you signed into first.
If you attempt to switch to a different account after accessing https://docs.new/, that will trigger an "ask for permission to access document" dialog.
Not awesome.
(AFAIK, the only way to fix this is to sign out and then log back in, in the "correct" order.)
I do understand why you didn't advertise that on the web site.
This problem is a common theme amongst all of the Google properties. (I run into it so much in the GCP console, too.) I would really like an explicit option to select the "default" or "primary" account, in that top-right user dropdown.
Note on Android this actually works great. Typing docs.new gives me a modal where I can choose between my work and personal account, and then dumps me in the docs editor app with a new doc.
Surely "PCs" must the dominant form factor for Google Docs/Sheets/Slides authoring? Still?
I mean, it's neat that you can edit a google doc on your phone, but who actually spends hours authoring that doc, tapping on a software keyboard on 5 inch touch screen?
oooh neat! this is something i can see myself using quite often.
i've got google drive bookmarked, but i do also type in drive.google.com or docs.google.com etc into the url bar quite a lot, often times to make a new document.
now i can just do ctrl+t->docs.new->start typing words on a page
