Soren, I surmise you're on Windows…

But if Mac-users find this thread: 
opt-[ gets you an opening curly-double-quote 
opt-shift-[ gets you a closing curly-double-quote
(for single-quote variants, it's the same as above but with end-bracket: 
opt-] and opt-shift-] )

There are good reasons not to want tiddlywiki to replace automatically, at 
least for anyone who makes use of various quote-delimited parameters in 
macros, etc. For example, Shiraz's <<alert src:"Alert text here">> can work 
with complex text only when I can type something like: 

<<alert src:"Don‘t yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater!">>
