Hi :) I think there is a single key to produce " marks but a lot of programs 'cleverly just know' whether they are opening or closing. Of course that makes it tricky if you need to use speech marks inside a quoted speech so they generally expect you to use the quotes twice. It all gets a bit confusing and messy until you think of how sub-headings work in wiki pages. ie a single = is a main heading and a == is a sub-heading and === is even lower than that

I think it's different in different countries too. I think (but can not be sure) that we used the same one on both sides like forever here, but I was born as late as 1966, so what do I know…?
