Mac OS X has an easy way to type “curly” quotes and apostrophes instead of 'straight' versions. I used both versions in that sentence to show the difference. Here is a bigger version to make the distinction more visible:

Make Home & End keys behave like Windows on Mac OS X. 24 April 2015 Apple keyboards macOS. I’ve been using Mac OS X daily since 2001 when I purchased my Titanium PowerBook and I still can’t get used the home and end key behavior. My DefaultKeyBinding.dict for Mac OS X. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets. DefaultKeyBinding.dict file (/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict) for Mac OS X, created by Brett Terpstra and based heavily on work done by Lri. Please note that these bindings won't work in all applications: TextWrangler and TextMate, for example, override these with their own settings.
Many people think “curly” quotes look better than 'straight' ones.
You can use the following keyboard shortcuts to type a single or double curly quote:
- Single quote open (‘) — option ]
- Single quote close (’) — shift option ]
- Double quote open (“) — option [
- Double quote close (”) — shift option [
However, I think it makes more sense to use [ and ] for open and close versions instead of the shift key. I found myself constant typing “mismatched‘ quotes. I also wanted to use the shift key for double quotes since that’s how the normal keyboard button works.
- Single quote open (‘) — option [
- Single quote close (’) — option ]
- Double quote open (“) — option shift [
- Double quote close (”) — option shift ]
Since OS X supports custom key bindings, I looked for a way to fix this. The trick is to create a file called
DefaultKeyBinding.dict
in the KeyBindings
folder inside your Library
folder. You can use this file to override the default key bindings for most applications.Here are my changes. Please feel free to copy the settings below and save them to your own computer. You may need to create the
KeyBindings
folder if it isn’t already there.![Macbook Macbook](/uploads/1/1/9/7/119716522/596090299.png)

The simplest solution is to create the file
DefaultKeyBinding.dict
in /Users/[user]/Library/KeyBindings
if it does not already exist, and add the remapping:Then restart the mac.

One solution is Karabiner (prior to version 9.3.0, Karabiner was called KeyRemap4MacBook). It allows you to remap specific keys or change then entire keyboard layout, as described here.

It is a powerful keyboard remapper that can change not only the functionality of keys and key combinations, but just about everything related to how a key repeats when you hold it down. Keyboard remappings are highly customizable (although it's not a so simple process). You can change practically anything: you can search through all the options and quickly find what you're looking for, or just browse by category. It's very powerful and usage is pretty straightforward.
The drawback is that keyboard remapping functions are predefined and you can just check them off. If you want to add custom remapping functions, you have to edit an XML file. When you're using a GUI application this is not exactly the ideal experience. That said, this is the only significant drawback.
