On outlook2010 you can?

So 2013 changed the default shortcuts from 2010?
On outlook 2010 you can?

If you have not setup any hotkeys from "Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region" for switching input methods, your shortcut (hotkeys) will be the default ones.

I'm on windows 10 .
Steps to change key sequence in Windows 10

Step 1: Open Control Panel.

Step 2: Tap Clock, Language, and Region.

Step 3: Choose Language.

Step 4: Open Advanced settings.

Step 5: Click Change language bar hot keys.

Step 6: Tap Change Key Sequence.

Step 7: Select new key sequence from Not Assigned, Ctrl+Shift, Left Alt+Shift and Grave Accent to switch input language and keyboard layout, and then click OK.

Step 8: Choose OK to bring the change into effect.

Have you tried a different PC or keyboard - these could be faulty?

You can also do the Windows key and R to call up the Run dialog, and type
osk
in there (On Screen Keyboard)

and that should mirror in real-time what you are pressing on the keyboard.

May be worth trying the CTRL key on the other side of the keyboard, in case one is faulty?

So how come Ctrl + 1 doesn't work anymore.
Same computer has both Outlook 2010 and 2013 installed?

If yes, it is not a recommended practice as it will create all strange things.

When installed 2013, I've removed 2010.
Then, outside MS Outlook, what will the system do if the user press Ctrl + 1?

Nothing.

In outlook , ctrl+ 2 is calendar . ctrl + 3 is contacts

Ctrl +1 will bring you back to mail, but not into inbox.

It is the default behaviour to go to mail view by pressing Ctrl + 1, not to inbox.

It is likely that inbox has been selected as startup folder in mail view for Outlook 2010.

I've  checked also in 2013.

If I'm on a different folder and toggle to calendar or contacts and press ctrl 1 it will bring me to the other folder and not to inbox.
