Changed shortcut for duplicate record, from " Ctrl + " " to "Ctrl + Shift + D". Tested OK.

The shortcut was selected because it is the same one used in Excel for duplicating rows.

Ideally, this should be done detecting if the shortcut is ambiguous in the user keyboard layout.

If that isn't possible, I'd rather remove the "Ctrl+Shift+2" shortcut, rather than this one.

I see. I have only two keyboards. In both, Ctrl+" would have to be done doing Ctrl+Shift+2. No idea how to implement a detection of ambiguity, even less one that is general enough for many keyboards. The proposal of Ctrl+Shift+D is intuitive, simple to remember, easy on the fingers (only left hand) and is not used by any other command in sqlitebrowser. It is also unambiguous. I am using it in my local instance and I believe it works well.
