Custom Scroll Settings

So before i would be able to use my scroll wheel for several different things.

for example:

ctrl + scroll = zoom in or out

normal scroll = scroll up or down (like in a web browser)

shift + scroll = scroll sideways

i loved these settings and it really help my workflow.

But then stopped using photoshop for months and today when i came back the settings were changed...

i dont know how they changed, im using cc15

can someone tell me how do i reset the exact settings i mentioned back.

    Correct answer goteee

    hold up, i just restarted photoshop, and now the settings are working, but they are changed...

    so now:

    alt + scrl = zoom

    scroll = works normally

    ctrl  + scrl = sideways scroll

    shift + scrl = like normal scroll but quicker

    is there a way i can reset it back to what i had originally as i am very used to using those shortcuts

    Simplest thing that comes to mind is a Preferences Reset. If you have any Custom workspace arrangements, save them first.

    Gene there are specific settings for the scroll wheel in Preferences.  I am not at home right now, so can't check, but I don't think they are turned on in their default state.
