Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you review shortcut items in one settings page in WPS Teams, switch the send-message key, and customize shortcuts for show/hide window, screenshot, and screen recording.	Microsoft Teams provides a full keyboard shortcut list for desktop and web, and Microsoft also documents opening and customizing shortcuts in Teams.	Google Chat provides desktop keyboard shortcuts for message sending, navigation, reply focus, and conversation movement.	Notion provides desktop shortcuts for page navigation, block editing, formatting, and workspace actions.	Adobe Acrobat provides desktop keyboard shortcuts for PDF viewing, navigation, and editing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places message sending, window control, screenshot, and screen recording shortcut settings in one focused page for collaboration tasks.	Compared with WPS: Teams covers a broader range of chat, meeting, and navigation shortcuts, but its official page is centered on a larger shortcut catalog rather than a compact settings flow for screenshot and recording actions.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat focuses on chat navigation and reply actions, and its official shortcut page does not present screenshot or screen recording shortcut settings for the collaboration client.	Compared with WPS: Notion shortcuts mainly support document editing and workspace organization rather than instant communication actions.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat shortcuts mainly support PDF workflows and do not target message sending or collaboration window control.

Overall Conclusion
If your daily work in WPS Teams depends on message sending, quick window access, screenshots, and screen recording, WPS Hotkey offers a more direct settings path for those actions. Other products also provide keyboard shortcuts, but their official shortcut coverage is centered more on chat navigation, document editing, or PDF work.
