Right arrow hotkey doesn't work for IPython:auto_suggest.accept

[NightMachinery]

Pressing the right arrow key does not accept a suggestion. It does move between typed characters.

from IPython import get_ipython

# Get the current IPython instance.
shell = get_ipython()

The following makes alt+right work correctly:

shell.shortcuts = [{'command': 'IPython:auto_suggest.accept_token', 'new_keys': ["escape", "right"]}]

But when I do:

shell.shortcuts = [{'command': 'IPython:auto_suggest.accept', 'new_keys': ['right']}]

ValueError: Multiple shortcuts matching {'command': 'IPython:auto_suggest.accept'} found, please add keys/filter to select one of: [Binding(command=<function accept at 0x7f2b6bdbb010>, keys=['c-f'], condition='has_suggestion & default_buffer_focused & emacs_like_insert_mode'), Binding(command=<function accept at 0x7f2b6bdbb010>, keys=['right'], condition='has_suggestion & default_buffer_focused & emacs_like_insert_mode')]

In what IPython version?

I get the same error, my ipython config is this:

c = get_config()  # noqa
c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False

c.TerminalIPythonApp.display_banner = False
c.TerminalInteractiveShell.shortcuts = [
    {
        "command": "IPython:auto_suggest.accept",
        "new_keys": ["c-z"],
    }
]

ipython --version
8.14.0

Ok, so I've managed to figure out that for a command that already has a shortcut you need to use match_keys instead of new_keys, see the docs.
