Thoughts from my Keyboard:
Hello Everyone,
Using LyX Version 2.3.5.2 Debian Bullseye [testing] upgraded.
In a document attempted to use double quote marks " by Shift + "
keys, and only single quote marks ' were placed.
Read something on the net regarding Ctrl + " which didn't work.
So tried Ctrl + Shift " which did. I haven't come across this before
and wondered if it is my keyboard or is this what LyX does now? If
the latter, where can I read about such changes in the future?
Thank you,

If you navigate to Tools > Preferences... > Editing > Shortcuts and
look up the "quote-insert" function, what does it show? For me, it
shows the double quote symbol ("). If you have something else, try
replacing it with the double quote character.

Thank you Paul,
Under:
"Cursor, mouse and editing functions" I find:
quote-insert "
quote-insert inner Alt+"
quote-insert outer auto plain Ctrl+"
Lyx certainly doesn't obey these.
Don't know how to modify the latter one to just have ["] as the first.
I may have to delete the key to make that work, but am unsure if it
hits the fan that I can get it back, or if it will obey that shortcut
as it doesn't the first one?
Thank you for pointing me to this. Have never had cause to look there.
Be well,

Charlie,
This is certainly curious. What you found matches what I have (on Mint,
with LyX 2.3.5.1). I assume that Shift+" works for you as expected in
other applications.
It's a bit of a long-shot, but if you return to the Shortcuts section of
the preferences dialog and type " in the search box ("Show key-bindings
containing:"), you should see all bindings that involve the quote key.
Is it by any chance bound to something else besides quote-insert? I'm
not sure this is possible in LyX, but then again I'm not sure your
symptoms are possible. :-)
Paul
