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!

    these shortcuts are key to productivity and email management and need to be restored!

    100%, this is critical for power users of your software. Why would you not have some of your users test and offer advice before eliminating useful features?

    I have the same issue.
    Just installed new Outlook today and used it for a few minutes.
    Like the new look.
    Then I noticed my left single hand command CTRL+SHIFT+1 wasn't working anymore.
    Tried to create a new one and ended up here.
    Forced to go back to old Outlook... :(

    Please add these keys (1-9) back in -- I cannot use the new Outlook until they are added back.
