Free Transform shortcuts have been reversed

Question

The latest update to Photoshop has the free transform shortcuts reversed; that is to say, it automatically makes free transform be proportionate scaling and by pressing shift it allows to you to 'squish and squeeze' the selected area. This is driving me insane as it is the opposite of what I've been doing for almost twenty years. How do I have this go the the way it was? I've looked in preferences to no avail, and as it is not a change to an existing tool per se, I can't revert it to the factory standards.
