Quick Steps New Outlook - no more shortcut options from 1 to 4

Hello everyone,

I am trying the new Outlook this week and noticed that the shortcut options CTRL + SHIFT + 1 to 4 are no longer available. The only options shown are from 5 to 9. This is not feasible for me since I use the ctrl + shift + 1 to 3 options to move emails using only one hand.

Does anyone know why Microsoft removed the other shortcut options or if this change is going to be permanent?

Thank you!

    "Old Outlook" (i.e., Outlook Classic 365) no longer has the CTRL + (1-) 4 shortcut, either! It is incredibly annoying!

    This works, but as I already had things mapped from all keys 1-9, this just shifts the problem to insufficient hotkeys.... good workaround for those who only have a few hotkeys, though.

    I added three lines to AHK to re-map the shortcuts 1 -> 5, 2 -> 6, etc. ;;; Written by Zachary Hunt for basic system automation ;;;#Requires AutoHotkey v2
