Curly quotes in Rise

I would also like to have the "curly" quotes as the default. 

Any update on adding a "Smart Quote" (Curly Quote) feature to Rise--hopefully making them standard? Since you can't search and replace, it is very time consuming to change them in our training. We work with major universities that agree that using smart quotes is the correct way.

Hello! I am a professional typography guy. As Tonya and others have helpfully explained, smart quotes are preferred (and expected) pretty much everywhere.

Copying and pasting from an application that handles text properly is not an especially reasonable thing to have to do in 2023, but since this thread is three years old and there’s no fix in sight, I thought it might be helpful to share some other workarounds in the browsers I use. 

• For Safari users, highlight the text, then right-click and go to Substitutions > Smart Quotes and make sure it’s checked. Now it’ll switch to smart quotes automatically whenever you type.
• For Chrome users, there’s an extension called Instant Smart Quotes that will correct dumb quotes along with other forms of typographical malpractice. Not familiar with the developer, but the extension is working as expected for me.

Replacement is especially important when using fonts like Be Vietnam, which displays the so-called 66 on both sides of the quoted text if you don’t fix it. 

Hope this helps!

There is a legitimate use for straight quotes and apostrophes. In the math world, those are the short-hand for feet and inches. Curly quotes are never acceptable in this use, so ideally there would be some way to have both.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, Mona! 

We don't have any updates to share at this time, but we'll be sure to update this thread with any news in the future! 

Hey, can I disable smart quotes in any way? It's messing up my training. I work for a software company, and smart quotes are NOT the standard (quite the opposite) and my only fix (so far) is to paste a normal quotation mark in from a basic text editor. It's very annoying!
