I believe many have used this famous software on Mac since the previous beta, including the 2019 beta. WPS Office for Mac is compatible with the  document formats of Microsoft Office and has the advantage of Chinese localization. Compared with Apple’s iWork suite, it has more user groups. The personal version for individual users is free forever.

It’s important to note that only applications that use Marzipan (Apple’s cross-platform framework) would get shortcuts support on macOS.
