What about 'Apostrophe' and "Quotation mark"

1) Quotation in Mono font

‘Single quotes’ “Double quotes” written in Liberation Serif 
'Single quotes' "Double quotes" written in Liberation Mono

Excellent feature cause I’ve read so many Excel and Bash books with Left/Right quotation marks in code (Mono font) and when you copy/paste you have to correct it every time.

Wouldn’t it be better if “Enclose with character” would:
Quote it with 'Apostrophe' and "Quotation mark"
in Mono fonts cause it already skips it when writing.

2)

Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options > Localized options
Single Quotes	
    ☐ Replace
        Start quote ‘
        End quote ’
Double Quotes
    ☐ Replace
        Start quote “
        End quote ”
When you unthick replace.
You start writing “word” and ‘word’ like "word" and 'word'.

Wouldn’t it be better if “Enclose with character” would:
Quote it with 'Apostrophe' and "Quotation mark"
just like in Mono fonts cause it already skips it when writing.

Workaround is to change Start / End Quote to " and ' twice in Localized options/Replace.

Speaking of:

'Apostrophes' and "Quotation marks" and ‘Single quotes’ “Double quotes”

when entering 
Apostrophe and Quotation marks with sequence:
CRTL+SHIFT+u + HEX Codes

22 "
27 '

it does AutoCorrect.
Unlike Insert Special Character.

Wouldn't it be the point of me remembering those combinations
trying to type exactly them.
Otherwise I would remember 

201C “
201D ”
201E „

and type them.

So if something can be done about that too.
If it can.
