Thanks, but those characters are different than the curly quotes produced by BBEdit when using its custom keys. With the option key depressed while typing in TextMate I get the grave and acute accents and diaeresis–I can confirm this by copying the resulting characters into the search bar in Apple's character palette The characters I am hoping to be able to type in are these:

Left single quotation mark - http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2018/ Right single quotation mark - http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2019/ Left double quotation marl - http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/201c/ Right double quotation mark - http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/201d/

Does anyone know how to type these in directly without having to use HTML entities?

Cheers.

New TextMate user coming from BBEdit. How do I enter single or double curly quotes? In BBEdit it is option-' or shift+option-", but I can't figure it out in TextMate. I typeset a lot of content while coding, and knowing how would be a huge timesaver.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I checked again and found them. The keyboard viewer is so small on my big monitor, that I was looking at the wrong keys!

OK your keyboard layout must be different from mine, still, check the keyboard viewer, the characters are available via the OS...

If you press the green “+” button on the keyboard viewer, it will become much larger.
