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!

    Please add back CTRL SHIFT 1-4. This alone makes me want to go back to the old version! Why does it start at 5? What are the functions of 1-4?

    I have the same issue on version. I cannot find the first 4 shortcut. It seems they have been reversed by the system, but don't know why. pls fix it.

    You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2024.223.300 (Production). Client Version is 20240229049.13 .

    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.
