How to disable auto pairing of quotes [closed]

Question

My Windows 7 installation automatically tries to pair quotes and does a very poor job. For example, when I press the quote key before a word nothing happens, but when I move the cursor to the end of the word and press the quote key again, both quotes are inserted after the word. Basically I am unable to insert one quote and it's super annoying.

It is a windows functionality, because it happens in all programs.

How do I disable it?

Answer 1

The problem is in the installed keyboard (windows input service).

1. In your Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages you'll most likely find US Keyboard - International, which is an input service that has the ugly autocomplete feature.
2. Add a new keyboard English - US (or Serbian or any other you like) and make it the default keyboard (in the drop down list above).
3. Remove the "buggy" keyboard.
4. Voila!

Hope this works for you!

Answer 2

If you press Left Shift + Left Alt at the same time, it will switch back to normal (like how you want it).
