Typing single quotes is one keystroke ('), typing double quotes is two (shift+').


> Typing single quotes is one keystroke

Not on my keyboard.

Also, C uses double quotes (and JSON, and many, many more languages). That used to be my rationale. These days I get away with saying that 'foo' and `foo` look too similar.


I believe the most commonly ones used do.


What keyboard locale(?) is that?


I'm german, but the layout is used in other countries as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ
