Is there a way to prevent OSX from using curly double and single quotes by default? I use Evernote to store SQL commands for reference and instead of getting " and ' when typing I end up with ‘ and ”. It's annoying to say the least.
From what I understand, this has nothing to do with Evernote because it's just using the standard encoding scheme for OSX
Simply two-finger (right) click the Evernote text area and select Substitutions and uncheck Smart Quotes. This works for many text areas, but not <textarea>s.
If you would like to disable it globally, open System Preferences, select Keyboard, select Text, and then uncheck Use smart quotes and dashes.
It's not a Mac OS issue, rather a font issue.
What font are you using in Evernote? Try using a monotype font like Andale Mono.
I just tested: typed a simple SQL in Evernote, copied-pasted into Sequel Pro, and got results.
