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.
