Wand and zoom shortcuts reversed, despite being set properly in shortcuts menu.

When I hover over the zoom tool, it tells me Z is the shortcut. Likewise, the wand tool is W, but for some reason they seem to be swapped. Typing W gets me the zoom tool and Z gets me the wand.  I went into  the keyboard shortcuts menu thinking maybe somehow they got switched, but they are listed as they should be. Any ideas what is going on?

This is a brand new install of Photoshop CC 2018.  I have not used this version before.

    Thank you for that. Weirdly, it fixed itself just after I posted to the forum, but if it crops up again, I will try your suggestion.

    Thanks again!

    If you have moved the preferences over to this version from the older version things may have gone wrong. Try resetting your preferences. In Photoshop it is rather easy. In your preferences choose General. Under General Just click on "Reset Preferences On Quit". Then quit and restart Photoshop. On a Mac go to Photoshop CC> Preferences>General. On a PC go to Edit>Preferences>General.
