I'm used to tagging important messages by right clicking on the message and with my left hand clicking G and 1. Quick and easy.

As of the latest update, that no longer works. After typing the G, I need to remove my right hand from the mouse to press the [Enter] key before I can complete the process by typing 1. It’s not a super' 'big deal, but it does slow me down — and I get annoyed because I haven’t unlearned the old pattern yet and forget to hit the [Enter] key almost every time I try to tag an email.

Can this change be rolled back?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I don't think there's a chance it will be rolled back, but it's easier to just select a message and press 1 to tag Important, 2 to tag Work, 3 to tag Personal, etc.

Wow! For all the years I've been using Thunderbird I never knew this shortcut. It's even better than my requested solution!

Is there a list somewhere of shortcuts like this?

The shortcuts for tags are also shown under Message/Tag and the message context menu. Press Alt if the Menu Bar with Message is hidden.
