            Bug ID: 216734
           Summary: Smart quotes behavior does not match TextEdit – should
                    convert quotes after delay
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 13
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

The current smart quotes behavior does not match TextEdit's. 
- In TextEdit, if you press ", after a short delay, it will become a smart quote. 
- In WebKit, " does not become a smart quote until the next character is typed.

This also has impact on the order of the undo stack. IMO, TextEdit's behavior feels more predictable, since it is easier to undo it in circumstances where I do not want a smart quote.
