In the code editor for IntelliJ 2019, I want to add a straight double-quote (QUOTATION MARK) to the currently-selected text to make it a string literal.
Is there some keystroke or menu item to make this happen?

The verified answer is correct, but if you are wondering what the shortcut is for these smart keys, highlight the text you wish to surround and press the key you wish to surround that text with.

Settings > Editor > General > Smart Keys > Surround selection on typing quote or brace
Yes, it's under Settings > Editor > General > Smart Keys and is called Surround selection on typing quote or brace.
If activated, you can utilize this feature by simply selecting the relevant text and pressing the single or double quote key.

for me it works with braces but not with quotes, everytime I select some text and try to add quotes the text is erased, im using rubymine on macos
On my device (macOS) I also faced the same problem and struggled with (double) quoting my selection. I tried an another text editor like Sublime and faced the same issue. However, I found out that it needs to be used with ctrl-key.
For single quoting selected text: Hit
ctrl+'For double quoting selected text: Still haven't figured it out.
Note: It depends on which keyboard (globally) you are using for your macOS device. In my case I'm using the 'US International - PC'. For 'US' you don't need to hit the ctrl-key.
