I should know better as I also use linux... but I never noticed until now...
for some reason I kept cancelling when I meant "go". I now assume that I was
doing this when I reported that the Duplicate command did not work... it did.

It seems so. I am using Opensuse on KDE. To be sincere I never checked, but
now that you mentioned it: Libre office, Cancel is always at the bottom or the
right.
"Run as root" dialog is: OK, Ignore, Cancel.
Kwrite: Save, Cancel, or: Open ,Cancel.
Gwenview: Save, Discard, Cancel, or: Open, Cancel.
Kmail is: Save, Cancel
When using the JFileChooser in IJ in the daily build
"File Open" dialog has Open. Cancel.
"File Save as" dialog has Save. Cancel.
When *not* using the JFileChooser, it still has Save, Filter Cancel. (!)
As far as I can see there no other program in my install has the Cancel button
on the left.
Perhaps these settings depend on the windows manager, but I would rather
prefer that IJ is consistent with itself (now it is not, as of the other
dialogs are the way round). I do no know how this is in Ubuntu. Perhaps we
cannot have it both ways.

Yes, Ctrl-Q is the common key combination.
