How to turn off curly-quotes in Adobe InDesign

Typographers quotes (curly quotes) look great don’t they? InDesign converts all straight quotes to curly quotes by default, but if you want a straight quote, it’s fairly easy to get them. Press Command + Shift + Option + ‘ (that’s the quote key next to Enter on your keyboard). This key combo turns off the quote converter preference. Now your quotes will be straight. If you want to go back to curly quotes, just press the key combo again.
