In V8 we now get curly quotes by default in text cells. In previous
versions I used to insert curly quotes trough the keyboard (modifying the
KeyEvent.tr file).
There are two new Cell options that seem related to the automatic curly
quotes in V8:
Options[Cell, AutoQuoteCharacters]
Options[Cell, PasteAutoQuoteCharacters]
However, the following does not disable the curly quotes:
Cell["", "Text", AutoQuoteCharacters -> {},
PasteAutoQuoteCharacters -> {}] // CellPrint
Cell["", "Text", AutoQuoteCharacters -> {"\"" -> {"\"", "\""}},
PasteAutoQuoteCharacters -> {"\"" -> {"\"", "\""}}] // CellPrint
I could not find any cell style related to the new default.
As a consequence, it is difficult (but not impossible) to write inline
Input cells with straight quotes in text cells.
