I write in Vim and when ready to format/publish dump documents in LyX for formatting as LaTeX documents. When I do so, double quotes show up in LyX with closing quotes at the beginning and end of the quote. When dumped in a word processor, opening and closing quotes are identical as well, but they are the vertical quotation marks, not the ones that curve in and out that is standard in LyX. I'm guess the latter is what is meant by "smart quotes." I'm wondering if it's possible to change the encoding of double quotes in Vim so they don't get translated the way they do in LyX.
As Tony puts, it should be an issue of LyX rather than Vim. However I want to add that LyX use LaTeX as its backend and LaTeX has its rule of typesetting quotes. You need to use `(backtick, or the grave sign) and '(single quote) to specify a beginning quote and a closing quote. And for the double quotes you need to say `` and ''(not " sign).
