From what I remember (it was a while back) it was both in notepad, notepad++ and geany. I was using, probably win xp or 7 at the time. I remember the only way I could fix it at the time was to change the language and keyboard settings to international English.

I can't seem to replicate the behavior now on win 11 even with the same language set and keyboard layout (system language set to English), so perhaps I'm misremembering? It seems that this keyboard layout does enable typing ¨ U+00A8 so perhaps I am confused with that and that some editors (word etc) do the opening/closing replacement.

IME is not used, though interestingly in Asian languages the do used even different quotes, example Japanese:「x」and『x』
