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

I had the same issue and while I wait for the official fix, I use this AutoHotKey (AHK) script to map the first CTRL+SHIFT+{1..4} --> CTRL+SHIFT+{6..9} Place this file (NewOutlookKeyMapping.ahk) in your startup directory, then change the bindings in Outlook that were {1..4} --> {6..9},

For exemple, you will still hit CTRL+SHIFT+1 but Outlook will receive CTRL+SHIFT+6

Hi, it's been like a year and this is still a problem. Please fix it.

However, the new Outlook is still a work in progress.

Your kind understanding is highly appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation.

It's sad that something so simple yet so critical to day-to-day use of Outlook would take this long to fix. I am moving back to the old version until this is fixed, even with Patrick Bélanger1's hotfix.

100% made that decision back then. a shame. interms of UAT it speaks volumes of a huge miss.

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