As shown below, the New Document is highlighted but I can't open it with the return key. I have to click on it. Also the Open option below is also greyed out. How can I open a new document without using the trackpad at all?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

To clear up any issues regarding Beta usage of macOS 15
Use " About this Mac " and post back the screen shot Without the serial number in the image

I believe you have hit the nail on the head (or on the thumb).

How did you get to that view? When I open Numbers on my Mac, tap Command-N to create a new document, I don't get that screen. This is what I see:
Tapping return opens the highlighted template.
14.1 is the version included in the MacOS 15.0 beta.

Are you running MacOS 15? If so, that's the beta version.
I'm not sure if it's related to the settings or not, but when I open Numbers on my Mac, the window I see before the template chooser requires me to first set the location to save the file. Only then can I proceed to select a template or a blank workbook.
That looks to be just the Numbers folder in iCloud Drive in Finder with a "New Document" icon, which is odd because I can't find a way to get that.
I guess the question then becomes, how exactly are you getting to that screen / window? What do you do to bring it up?
Also, what happens when you tap the enter key?
If it tries to change the name under the icon, then that indicates its just a file named "New Document" that you are using to create a new Numbers file, but is not really an interface item.
In any case, actually opening the Numbers App, rather than the folder in iCloud Drive, should get you the regular screen Idris shows in her reply.

That was my first thought as well but, like you, I couldn't find a way to get the "New Document" icon.

I don't get the New Document button there, either, though the reset of it looks similar.

I hope we are incorrect but . . . .
No, it is not the beta version.
What exactly happens when you click on " New Document " in the Bottom Left of your screen shot
In my setup.
If I do as suggested in above
I would get a screen , much like that of @IdrisSeabright
It seems, the Default for opening Numbers with iCloud, will present
At least that is how it is working on 1 M1, 1 M2 and 1 M3 all with Sonoma
Are you perhaps running a beta version?

Good catch.
What is the shortcut key to open new document?
