Visual Studio F6 stopped working. It no longer builds the project

I'm using VS2008, been using it for quite some time now, and since I hate using the mouse while developing, I'm always using F6 to build the solution, or Shift+F6 to build the current project. What's weird though is for some strange reason, it simply stopped working over the last few days. In fact, when I pull down the Build menu, next to "Build MyProject" there's no longer a "Shift+F6" shortcut there on the menu?!? Anyone ever experienced this? Is there a setting I need to change?

You can change keyboard bindings in the Tools->Options dialog. It's under Environment->Keyboard.

You can reset the binding here, and also check what might have stolen it by checking what's currently bound to those keys.

If you recently installed any add-ins, they're known to set (sometimes unwanted) keyboard shortcuts.

Your Keyboard Mapping Scheme has changed. Go to Tools -> Options. In Environments->Keyboard in the dropdown for "Apply the following additional mapping scheme" select "Visual C# 2005"
