Question

CTRL + Scroll/Alt + Scroll acting weird

Greetings!

 

So after i took a break from Photoshop CS5 work for a few months, i figured it's time to get back to it again but something is dififferent.

 

Usually, CTRL + Scroll used to move the zoom left and right while ALT + Scroll was zoom in and out and it's been like that for over 3 years until it changed today and i can't see a way to change it in the settings.

 

The only thing that i switched was my keyboard, and if that's the problem, is there a way to make each one do what i want instead pressing CTRL once and it movinge to the side, requiring to Press it again if i want to zoom in and out only ?

Thank you but everything in there does not work anymore. The scripts, programs that may interfere with the keybinds, nothing 😕😕 

 

I don't want to have to upgrade to Photoshop CS6  Since from what i gathered, it's a specific CS5 version issue. Is there not a way to just not have the CTRL or Alt key  switch between Zoom in and Zoom out?

Update:

 

Tried PS CS6, and it is the same. Pressing Alt changes between the zoom in and zoom out options, which is what i don't want it to do. Pressing CTRL causes everything to move right and left and upon releasing, it stays like that.

 

To be clearer, on what my goal is; To be able to hold alt and zoom in and out without it requiring me to press it again to zoom out or in, same with CTRL.
