Whenever I try and type quotation marks in the workspace (using a Mac) it won't let me/nothing is typed. Any idea why?

For example, when the layout has changed and pressing the quote key, instead of a single quote ( ' ) an ' è ' will display or possibly nothing, but in this case if pressed twice two tildes will display ( `` ).
So if this happens try pressing Cmd + Shift twice and see if that fixes it. Note that you may have to do this again as, at least with PC laptops, there can be 3 different keyboard layout configurations.
