* Customize Keyboard dialog (#368) Tools > Customize Keyboard (tools.customizeKeyboard): pick a category and a command, see its keys, press a combination to see which command uses it, then Assign / Remove / Reset All. Also reachable from File > Options (Keyboard shortcuts: Customize...) and command search. - engine: KeyMap (assigned key -> command, removed built-in keys), consulted before the registry's built-in shortcuts; keys compared in one canonical form. Saved maps read leniently: junk entries and unknown commands are dropped, never failing the rest of the preferences. - tools.customizeKeyboard: with params (assign/remove/reset/command/key) it only changes or reports the map; without params it opens the dialog. - ui: key dispatch and menu/tooltip shortcut text use the user map; the map persists in ui.json; more keys (Q, F1-F12, 4/6/7, Insert) can be bound. - i18n strings in every catalog; docs/ui-parity, gaps #24, ROADMAP log. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Customize Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar (#379) Tools > Customize Ribbon (tools.customizeRibbon): one dialog with two pages. Ribbon: commands by category next to the ribbon's tabs; show or hide and reorder tabs, add custom tabs and custom groups (on built-in or custom tabs) holding any commands, rename, remove, reset. Quick Access Toolbar: add, remove and reorder its commands, reset. - engine: RibbonLayout (tab order and visibility, custom groups, the toolbar's commands). Saved layouts read leniently: junk, duplicates, reserved names and unknown commands are dropped. - tools.customizeRibbon: with params (hide/show, newTab, newGroup, add, remove, rename, move, qatAdd/qatRemove/qatMove, reset, layout) it only changes or reports the layout; without params it opens the dialog. - ui: the tab strip and ribbon follow the layout (custom groups draw the commands' own icons, else a lettered tile); the Quick Access Toolbar shows the user's commands; right-click any ribbon button to add it to (or remove it from) the toolbar or open the dialog; the toolbar's ... button opens a menu of common commands and More Commands... (#376); File > Options has a second Customize button; layout persists in ui.json under `ribbon`. - Open and Print icons drawn in code; i18n strings in every catalog; docs/ui-parity, gaps #24, ROADMAP log, parity checklist. Fixes #376. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Brandon Thomas <echelon@gmail.com>

UI parity with Microsoft Word
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-11 · Change: trivial (Customize Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar, #379; previously: major, first version; ribbon, dialogs, shortcuts and on-canvas interaction measured from
crates/ui-eguiand the command registry) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
How WordCraft looks and feels next to Word: ribbon, dialogs, panes, keyboard, mouse and touch.
Typing behaviour has its own checklist (typing-parity.md). All assets are our
own (AGENTS.md: no Microsoft iconography, ever).
Dimension: ~65% (estimated), 65–100 h to full (the sum of the rows below; dialog depth is counted here, not under features).
