Capability Summary	WPS Teams provides a Hotkey settings page where you can review and adjust shortcuts for sending messages, window control, screenshots, and screen recording.	Microsoft Teams provides keyboard shortcut references and an in-app flow to open and edit selected shortcuts on desktop.	Google Chat provides macOS keyboard shortcuts for messaging, navigation, and conversation actions, but the official page does not show a native shortcut customization flow.	Notion provides extensive desktop keyboard shortcuts for pages, blocks, and editing, with the official page focused on fixed shortcut references.	Acrobat provides a desktop keyboard shortcut reference focused on viewing and using existing shortcuts, while the official page does not show a native in-app shortcut customization flow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings message sending, window control, screenshot, and screen recording shortcut settings into one page; Distinct: screenshot and screen recording shortcuts can be assigned or restored from the same settings area.	Compared with WPS: Teams supports viewing and editing selected shortcuts, but its official page is centered more on chat and meeting operations.	Compared with WPS: the official page is more focused on using preset shortcuts and does not present a native customization entry there.	Compared with WPS: shortcut coverage is broad for editing workflows, but the official page does not show a dedicated shortcut settings panel.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers a broad shortcut reference for PDF work, but the official page does not show an in-app shortcut settings panel like this workflow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Hotkey settings on macOS fit users who want one settings page for message sending, window visibility, screenshots, and screen recording shortcuts. If your main need is a reference list of preset shortcuts for chat or editing, the other products also provide official shortcut documentation, but WPS keeps these shortcut controls more centralized in this workflow.
