Visual studio 2013 won't accept an uppercase E

Question

I have not (knowingly) created or reassigned any keyboard shortcuts, and thought that I should be at using only 'default' keyboard shortcuts. But when I attempt to type an uppercase 'E', the status bar displays,

"(Shift+E) was pressed. Waiting for the second key of the chord..."

. If I hit Esc as suggested in the question, How do you stop Visual Studio from waiting for the second part of a shortcut-combination?, the status bar displays,

"The key combination (Shift+E, Esc) is not a command."

No other key combinations have produced an alternative outcome. This issue only exists for E and only exists in Visual Studio. Shift+E isn't in any Default Keyboard Shortcut I saw on MSDN.

I installed the Intellicommand Extension as recommended in the Display Possible Chord Continuations in Visual Studio discussion, but no prompts are displayed when I type Shift+E.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Go to Tools > Options > Environment/Keyboard dialog. Then put focus on the Press shortcut keys: textbox, do shift+E and see what comes up. Once you find where it is set just update it to something else.
