Google announced this on Twitter, alongside multiple examples of their uses. As you can see, the company is making it as foolproof as possible, so that even a missed ‘s’ at the end of Docs will still get you to Google Docs.
— Google Docs (@googledocs) October 25, 2018 For those who use these apps frequently, you’ll likely appreciate this shortcut. Typing ‘docs.new’ is certainly a lot shorter than typing ‘docs.google.com’ and then selecting a blank template. Speaking of which, if you want to use a pre-made template, then you’ll have to use the complete URL. Incidentally, this new function doesn’t work with Google Keep notes. So if you’re making a note using Keep, you’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way. (Source: Google)
