I keep accidentally hitting some right-to-left shortcut in Notepad (XP). Not sure what it is so I have to save, exit, and open the file back up.

are you running JAWS on your PC?

If you are then I believe the shortcut is (right Ctrl)+(right Shift)+(right arrow) to change reading direction... it is an unintended effect of JAWS on Notepad. To reverse it, use the same command, but with the left-side keys.

When in left to right mode hold the right arrow key and then press the right CTRL and SHIFT keys.

When in right to left mode, hold the left arrow key and then simultaneously hold the left CTRL and SHIFT keys.
