Re: Quotation marks and other special characters

I don't know if curly quotes are part of any Emacs input method but if 
not, and depending on the layout of your keyboard you could have 
something like this in your .emacs:


(setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil
       w32-pass-rwindow-to-system nil
       w32-pass-apps-to-system    nil
       w32-lwindow-modifier       'super   ;; Left Windows
       w32-rwindow-modifier       'super   ;; Right Windows
       w32-apps-modifier          'hyper)  ;; App-Menu (key to right of 
Right Windows)


and then

(global-set-key [(super \,)] (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?« )))
(global-set-key [(super \.)] (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?» )))
(global-set-key [(super \')] (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?“ )))
(global-set-key [(super  \")] (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?” )))
