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!

Sorry, that should have been ctrl-' or shift+ctrl-" for the ‘’ and “” characters.
Thanks.

Checking the keyboard viewer reveals that option-[ and option-] is what you are after. Best, Mark On Jul 14, 2008, at 9:28 PM, Daniel Barber wrote:

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.

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

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!

Typographical quotes have always been part of the standard Mac keyboard; some apps have been known to provide their own 'smart quotes' feature that can confuse the issue.
Open double: Option-[ Close double: Shift-Option-[ Open single: Option-] Close single: Shift-Option-]
True that. In the Mac Keyboard Viewer, click the zoom button (third green on the title bar) to get the legible zoomed view.
