  1. Notepad shortcuts swapped


    Good evening.

    I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on my hard drive, due to a problem now fixed. For default language settings I use Portuguese (PT-PT), but for some reason, when I tried saving a .txt file using CTRL+G (which is the portuguese combination to "guardar") I got the command 'go to line' instead. I noticed the shortcut to save was now CTRL+S (which is the english equivalent to save), which means the shortcuts are swapped. My language setting was always PT-PT during the editing, and I don't understand how can I change the shortcuts to be dependent on the keyboard language introduction setting again. I need this because I frequently change keyboards between english, portuguese and polish...

    BTW, all shortcuts work fine on MS Office, which is weirder...

    :)
