When pasting an entry into jabref, check whether key already exists

[ilippert]

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe. When I paste an entry into JabRef, I occasionally mess up my library because an entry with that citation key already exists.

Describe the solution you'd like JabRef should notify me when I paste an entry and an entry with the same key already exists. I think this already happens as part of the import function, but not when an entry is pasted.

Only works if you copy + paste the article twice

The cause is probably our duplicate check. We need to work on checking the bibtex keys when pasting...

The issue is fixed when automatic key generation is in place --> JabRef automatically detects duplicate entry; if no duplicate, the key is generated to be unique

We need to check the behavior if existing keys should not be overwritten
