There are 2 "New" functions in the Customize keyboard dialog.

New (.uno:StyleNewByExample)

New (.uno:AddDirect)

The suggestion "New Spreadsheet" does not apply because the command AddDirect is global and active for the current component. The shortcut is Ctrl+N.

Renaming bug title.

Suggestion instead
.uno:StyleNewByExample = "New Style by Example"

.uno:AddDirect = "New Document" or "New File"

> .uno:StyleNewByExample = "New Style by Example"
The tooltip is "New Style from Selection" but I suggest to simply go with "New Style"; the label is only relevant for the customize dialog.

> .uno:AddDirect = "New Document" or "New File"
I'd pick Document. The command needs a short ContextLabel, ie. the current New. 

The longer label would be shown on the Notebookbar. Acceptable IMO.
