New Google Apps Document Creation Shortcut

The Short Version

Type doc.new in the web address bar and a new Google Doc gets created.

And There's More

Google released a new shortcut recently that I have already been using frequently. It’s simple and Google helped make it easy to remember how to take advantage of the shortcut. The basic premise of the shortcut is to create a new Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets document, just type a web address, such as doc.new, into the address bar (NOT the search field) of any web browser and a new Google document is created.

Google made the feature work in several combinations to make it as easy as possible to remember:

New Google Docs Document
doc.new
docs.new
document.new

New Google Sheets Document
sheet.new
sheets.new
spreadsheet.new

New Google Slides Document
slides.new
deck.new
presentation.new

New Google Forms Document
form.new
forms.new
