<![CDATA[Can Opera respect macOS setting for smart quotes?]]>Interesting. I have been having to manually edit posts on forums to change hash marks ("") to quotation marks (“”) for social media posts. When searching Google I found this previous issue that actually marked the respecting of macOS’s smart-quote setting as a bug(!):

It would be nice to have the same functionality on macOS as my mobile phone when deailing with quotes, since it is an OS-level setting that can be turned off. Is there a particular reason why chromium browsers don’t repsect this setting?

Hence if smart quotes leaves you no method to enter an apostrophe, it does become a bug. Not being a Mac user, I have no way of knowing if there is some method to temporarily bypass smart quotes, though apparently the user in that other thread was not aware of one.
