It seems all the Ctrl+(lowercase character) hotkeys in git-gui have an
equivalent Ctrl+(uppercase character).
So for this feature, we should keep the Ctrl+E bind aswell as the
Ctrl+e bind. If nothing else, to keep it consistent with the rest of
the hotkey bindings.
But honestly, (as Marc pointed out) it is a quite weird that
Ctrl+Shift+(character) has the excact same function as
Ctrl+(character). Perhaps we should find another way to bind the
hotkeys, where the state of Caps Lock doesn't matter? If possible.
