Typing ' twice turns it into ´

I am having a very minor problem.

When I press ' (single quote) twice, it turns into a ´ (like that thing under ~ but reversed; I don even know the name which is probably why I haven't found a solution).

Is there a way to get simply '' when pressing ' twice?

Thanks in advance!

I tried keyboard set to English (US International) and English (UK)

On US-International keyboard, pressing ' (single quote) makes an accent when you press a or e or a few other keys after it. To make a single quote you need to press ' followed by space. For double quote, it's the same thing, you press " followed by a space. To have 2 single quotes, you need to press ', space, ', space.
This is useful only if you use accentued languages (like French or Portuguese). If not, I think US Keyboard (and probably UK keyboard) is better.
