variable problem, Variables are having hotkey 'A' added Options

[Phil E. Drifter]

I don't know what's causing it, but now whenever I use the $$trig/%%trig built-in function or any of my regex aliases triggered, they're added to my macro list with a hotkey defined as the letter A, and it really makes it difficult for me, I have to go and delete the offending macros otherwise every time I type an 'a' in my input pane, it clears the line.

any help? please?
