Use the CTRL + Left Shift Keyboard Shortcut to Change the Typing Direction

Many Windows PCs have macros designed to alter the typing orientation, occasionally causing your keyboard to switch from a left-to-right direction. This phenomenon is a frequent cause for the reversal of typing diretcion on Windows. If you encounter this issue, a straightforward solution is to press the Ctrl + Right Shift combination on your keyboard, effectively restoring the typing direction to its original left-to-right setting.


Numerous individuals participating in a Microsoft Community discussion have attested to the effectiveness of this method in resolving the issue. It's worth mentioning that a word of caution is in order: inadvertently pressing the Ctrl + Left Shift keys may result in Windows returning to the reverse typing mode once more.
