Default quotation symbols in Google Docs are curly ones “”. I would like to use command line quotes like "". I can't find any solution except:

Insert -> Special Characters -> Punctuation -> Quotation Mark

Is it possible to change default quotation symbols in Google Docs?

The smart quotes are kind of automatic replacement. You can undo every automatic replacement with Ctrl-Z.

Example:
Type ": Google Docs will replace by
Type Ctrl-Z: Google Docs will undo the replacement and leave "

-3

Go to Settings -> Input Methods to change it.
