Windows 10: Help with Quotation Mark Typing Issue

Hello,I’ve noticed an issue when typing quotation marks on my device. Whether it’s a single ' or double ", I have to press the space bar after typing it for the character to show.I’d prefer it if the quotation marks appeared right away instead.Is there any way to fix this? I’d appreciate any tips or instructions you can share.Thanks for your help!

:)

 

crazy quotation marks

when I type quotation marks the first one is inverted and at the bottom of the line, the second, turned around. eg.: „of new possibilities“

This is happening in only one document. and the only soultion is to cut and past every correct quotation mark.

I have read all the similar questions and no one has suggested a correction that works. There are lots of language related suggestions but all solutions thus far have failed. Please give explicit instructions.

Please, please help!

 

Unable to type quotation mark (“) properly

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that when you need to press the (“)
key twice or press it once followed by a character to get the quotation mark (“) printed on the screen.



I would like to inform you that if you are using a US – International keyboard, you will need to press the (“) key twice or press it once followed by a character to get the quotation mark (“) printed on the screen.
As this is by design for the US - International keyboard.



Similarly, if you are using a United Kingdom keyboard for English (Australia), you will see a change in the
@ and “ keys. As they are swapped to accommodate the Australian keyboard.



As an alternative, you might want to try using the United States keyboard, which should allow you to type the characters properly. To install the United States keyboard, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Time & Language and click on
   Language on the left pane.
   
3. Now, click on English (Australia) language pack and select
   Options.
   
4. Click on Add a keyboard and select
   United States (US).

Quotation marks + apostrophes are curly (“) by default instead of regular (") quotation marks and apostrophes (Notion)

When typing in Notion, instead of inputting regular quotation marks and apostrophes when the respective keys are pressed I get curly quotation marks and curly apostrophes instead

Changing the keyboard layout/language has not solved the problem, neither has using a different user account

This could potentially be caused due to an accidentally inputted keyboard shortcut? Though I'm not sure about that. I've seen Ctrl + Shift + ' suggested before, but that didn't fix the issue.
