The problem
When you type a single or double quote in Atlassian Jira or Confluence wiki, it's automatically converted to a "smart" quote 🤮
Examples
“double”
‘single’
I don’t like it
If you delete a smart quote and type it again, it becomes smart again, which can be disturbing.
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.
