Just a tip, which may also be useful to Mac users: under Linux I have 
customized my keyboard mapping so that CAPS_LOCK (a useless thing) 
produces “ and SHIFT-CAPS-LOCK ” (and likewise single quotes ‘ ’ with 
R_ALT-CAPS_LOCK and SHIFT-R_ALT-CAPS_LOCK). This makes my source files 
look better than with `` ''.
