Muse should use correct typographers quotation marks in text

  1. Create a title or other piece of text
  2. Type a single or double quotation
  3. What appears are feet and inches marks rather than 'smart' or typographer's quotation marks

This spoils the engraving in Muse and is typographically incorrect
See https://practicaltypography.com/straight-and-curly-quotes.html

The workaround is to use keyboard shortcuts:

Character Windows Mac
‘ opening single quote alt 0145 option + ]
’ closing single quote alt 0146 option + shift + ]
“ opening double quote alt 0147 option + [
” closing double quote alt 0148 option + shift + [
