If I open a Terminal window and I type the letter "e" (without quotes of course) it beeps and will not type the letter. Every other letter works just fine in Terminal. Uppercase E works too. Just the lowercase e doesn't.
In every other app on my computer lowercase e works without issue, so it's not a keyboard issue.
This started sometime in the last week. I use Terminal a lot in my job and never has this been an issue. I have rebooted (did not fix). I have reset terminal (did not fix).
Since I do not know the exact date when this started, I am not sure if I made any changes or installed software. I am trying to remove anything I have installed recently.
FYI I have tried to use the 3rd party iTerm2 and it does the same thing.
ALSO - if I paste in something with a lower e, it does same thing - will not take it. It has to be some terminal bash config issue I would think.
In fact, I copied the following sense and then I pasted it in Terminal. What appears? sns and you can hear two beeps.
Also - in case it is unclear - this happens with the built-in keyboard on the MBP as well as an external keyboard. Based on that and the pasting issue, I do not think this is a physical keyboard issue in any way.

applescript
by searching it in spotlight, and type indelay 10
then press return and writetell application "System Events" to keystroke "e"
exactly as written. When play is pressed it will wait 10 seconds, and then press e by itself. Go to terminal before that time expires and test it. If that doesn't work, than you have a serious internal problem with your computer.cat filnam.txt
where the file calledfilnam.txt
contains some ASCII text withe
?
