Am I right that you are on a Mac? Then why not input the quotation
marks directly -- it's simply Option+^ and Option+2 (or alt+^ resp. alt
+2, if you prefer) to input „ and “, and Shift-Option-q and Option-q
for » and «.
On Windows you have to type Alt + a certain number combination to
input quotation marks directly.
