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!

I added three lines to AHK to re-map the shortcuts 1 -> 5, 2 -> 6, etc.

There are several related complaints in the Feedback Hub, but here's one Microsoft has marked as "Open": CTRL+1-4 shortcuts · Community
December 2024. I just tried out the new Outlook. There always seems to be a no go feature for me and this is one of them.
We may not be a large group, but those of us who use a lot of quickstep for categorizing email, this is a deal breaker.

Thanks for the update! I was just about to try switching to the New Outlook again to see if this absurd feature deletion was put back in. Guess I'll keep using the old Outlook indefinitely. It's such a silly and simple feature and all the developers have to do is put it back in!
