Bind Word's documented default shortcuts that were missing to existing commands, plus a few small new commands: Reset Paragraph Formatting (Ctrl+Q), Reset Character Formatting (Ctrl+Space, which used to clear all formatting), em dash, copyright, registered, trademark and ellipsis, DATE / TIME / PAGE fields (Alt+Shift+D/T/P), Print Layout / Outline / Draft / Split views, Word Count (Ctrl+Shift+G), Bookmark, Alt+F7, Ctrl+Page Up/Down find browsing, Shift+F12 / Ctrl+F12 / Ctrl+Shift+F12 / Ctrl+F2 / Ctrl+F4, Mark Index Entry, Mark Citation and the mail merge keys. Where macOS claims Word's key (Cmd+Q quits, Cmd+Space is Spotlight, Cmd+Shift+G is Find Previous, Option+letter types symbols), the binding follows Word for Mac or is left off there. F4 Repeat, Q and F2 now reach the registry from the keyboard, and an Alt shortcut no longer also types its key's character.

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).
