I want to use Ctrl+1, 2, 3, .... (with and without shift also) to open speed dials

I want to use a key to open Speed dials in the same tab and same key with 'Shift' to open that speed dial in a new tab.

My favourite were Ctrl+1, 2, 3, 4 ... and so on. And when I used Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, 3 etc, then they opened in a new tab. But now the Ctrl+1, 2, etc are focusing already open tabs. How to revert to old behavior of these shortcut keys?

I've read several articles on using extensions like 'Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts)', but those don't let me use C+1, 2, etc. Also another method of using to js files (auto.js something) doesn't seem to do this job, as I think that would only disable some KeySrtcs altogether.

Chosen solution

I did a few things, but I think my problem was that I had changed this setting the 'Ctrl', and thus 'Ctrl' key got reserved (see SS attached).

Also, I was trying to open diff speeddials thru KB shortcuts while sitting in the speed dial tab itself (earlier they did work this way also). But later I found (after changing the above said 'Ctrl' key setting to 'Shift' or to 'Alt') that even though my Speed Dial KB S Keys didn't work from this tab, they worked (or started to work now) from all other tabs.

There is the Bookmark Shortcuts extension. On Windows this uses the Alt key since (Ctrl) + (1-8) are reserved for selecting the first eight tabs. You may have to enable NumLock if you use the keypad.
