HotCakeX Thank you so much for your help! It's really helpful! But I have some more ideas:

①Please add keyboard shortcut to enter the Office, type the following orders in the search box:

"Ctrl W" to enter Word on Edge;

"Ctrl E" to enter Excel on Edge;

"Ctrl P" to enter PowerPoint on Edge

②Embedded videos, excel charts, PPT, audios on your Word documents like viewing a website! 

Embedded audio like this below in Word. And accelerate speed from 0.3 to 3 times, 0.1 times per degree. And make sure we can arbitrarily adjust the playback progress; fast forward and fast backward; playlist functions; single loop and list loop...

The same as the embedded video. Why not use office's own videos sites instead of embedded from other sites.

③ Make sure all the Edge extension work well on your Word either. For instance, when you view a video or listen to an audio on your Word, the bilingual sub extension will work either. And when you read an article on your Word, make sure your dictionary extension on Edge will work either.

④Add publish button and email button on the Edge Word! Click publish button to publish your article on the website you want to publish. Click email button and type in your contact to email your Word document.

You're welcome!
the shortcuts can't happen, because they are already assigned to other tasks that belong to the browser, not a specific website (Word, Excel etc.), the shortcuts are reserved for browser tasks.

 

Ctrl + P = Printing

Ctrl + W = Tab closing

Ctrl + E = search in address bar

but there are already way too many ways to access them so that shouldn't cause any problem.

number 2 is a feedback for Word. if you have Word installed on your computer then it has feedback feature. you can also use this: https://word.uservoice.com/

number 3, need to be more specific with extensions, like which one is exactly not working.

number 4, there is no Edge Word. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Edge are 2 different products.
Word can be used as app on Android, IOS, Mac, Windows, or as a PWA in Word online, which is a website. it has its own set of features, for emailing, sharing etc.

you can install Word online as a PWA (progressive web app) and use it on Edge on any device (Windows, Mac, Linux, IOS, Android etc.)

 

some websites like Outlook or Twitter automatically offer them

 

 

and for the rest that don't automatically offer it, you can use this method:
