QGIS Ribbon QGIS 4 compatibility

Yes — QGIS Ribbon supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
A ribbon interface for QGIS: tabs, contextual tabs, Quick Access Toolbar, KeyTips and command search instead of toolbars.
About
QGIS Ribbon replaces the QGIS toolbars with a ribbon. Commands are sorted into tabs and groups (Map, Insert, Analysis, View, Edit, Imagery, Share, Extensions). Contextual tabs appear for the active vector layer, table or raster. The print layout window has its own ribbon, with tabs for the selected item, reports, templates and page sizes. It includes a Quick Access Toolbar, KeyTips for keyboard use (Alt), a command search, a graphical editor to customize tabs, groups and galleries, saved and shareable arrangements, light and dark appearance, and a tab for the commands of installed plugins. The ribbon only calls existing QGIS functions; the panels stay unchanged, the menu bar can optionally be hidden, and deactivating the plugin restores the QGIS toolbars exactly. User interface in English and German, with a built-in guide (Help > Plugins > QGIS Ribbon Guide). The layout follows the ribbon concept of ArcGIS Pro to help users switching to QGIS. This is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Esri, and it contains no Esri icons, texts or graphics. Tested on Windows with QGIS 3.44; macOS, Linux and QGIS 4.2 are supported from version 1.7.1.
