The problem
When you type a single or double quote in Atlassian Jira or Confluence wiki, it's automatically converted to a smart quote. As a detail-oriented software engineer, this disturbs me.
Examples
“double”
‘single’
I don’t like it
Even if you delete the quote and re-type it, it becomes smart again.
There is no option to disable smart quotes permanently.
But...
You can get rid of them
Type Ctrl-Z immediately after they appear.
It also works for the word don't: When you type apostrophe ' it looks normal, then when you type t, the apostrophe changes. Type Ctrl-Z and it reverts back to normal again.
