mr. Morton point seems to be correct BUT I don't feel that Ctrl+E should do the same thing as Ctrl + Shift + E.

we have 2 different situations :

1) the designer want to overwrite something without the confirmation dialog 2) the same designer want to change the file name or extension

I have to admit, I'm constantly getting tripped-up by that. Is there any reason that the FIRST time you hit Ctrl + E couldn't do the same thing as Ctrl + Shift + E rather than _nothing_? Or at least bring up a dialog asking the user if that is what they'd like to do?

Or... export the file back to its imported location and filetype?

For a jpeg photograph that would of course be a disaster - jpeg saving is lossy, so you could easily damage or lose your original file beyond repair.

Sure, but that's why you'd have a popup the first time you were going to overwrite. If you didn't want to save the JPEG, you'd cancel and save it somewhere else using the 'export as' dialog.
