copy element style shortcut conflicts with DevTools element inspector

See original GitHub issue

Environment Info Firefox version: 76.0.1 (64-bit) OS: Ubuntu 18.0.4

Reproduction Steps

Create a new document (or open an old one)
Select a node
Press CTRL+SHIFT + C to copy the styles of the selected node

Expected Styles to be copied and paste-able.

Actual Opens the “Element selector” in firefox dev tools.

There might be other shortcuts that override the excalidraw ones for which that might prove a useful resource. I’ve not done a proper cross-comparison.

I’ve opened a PR. I don’t have Mac so please check if it works https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/pull/1881 (preview: https://excalidraw-git-copypastestylesshortcut.excalidraw.vercel.app/) - if not I’ll need to switch to different workflow.

I’m not very happy overriding something that is doing completely different thing. Overriding Cmd+C for example is fine as we want to be more specific on what’s going there, etc… So for this case maybe we should find a new shortcut for styles… It’s also I believe not something that used so frequently anyways!
