Desperately need help with problem photoshop Type shortcut triggers a symbol thats replacing my text

Im using a shortcut menu program to trigger shortcuts in photoshop to speed up my work.
Works great untill i get to the Type shortcuts.
So when you input text in photoshop and you want to increase or decrease its size you can use shortcuts.
for instance :
ctrl+shift+< decreases size fo text by 1 point
ctrl+shift+> increases size fo text by 1 point

 

to go faster in increasing and decreasing you add the alt key
increase decrease by 5 points shortcuts:
ctrl+shift+alt< decreases size fo text by 5 point
ctrl+shift+alt> increases size fo text by 5 point

 

Now here comes my problem. they all work perfectly except decrease by 5 points.
When i have my text typed in in the textbox on the layer and i use shortcut ctrl+shift+alt+< id does decrease with 5 points BUT also triggers windows keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+< which replaces my text with a keyboard character/symbol.

So if i had typed in "hello" and pressed ctrl+shift+alt+< it makes it 5 points smaller AND replaces my "hello" with "ç".
A character called Cedille.

I've tried to find out if i can remove the keyboard shortcut for this symbol inn windows but cant find a way to do it and ive tried to alter photoshop shortcut for decreasing type size by 5 points but also cant find a way to do that.

Anyone please help me solve this issue.
It happens on all my laptos so its not laptop specific.

As it stands right now the photoshop shortcut for decreasing type with 5 points is useless untill i solve this

anyone knows? id love to hear a solution

Best Regards 

Stephan

I am not sure if I got your question right but to type the cedille, I think it is easier for you to set your keyboard as English Internacional and you can add it as ' follwing by c. Or you can copy it from the character map from Windows.
