The typographically correct quote characters are all arranged in those three adjacent and (mostly) balanced keys, `[]{}\\|`, easy to follow after you see it once as opposed to Alt+#### which is idiotic, anti-UX nonsense along with needing to install support for additional languages. And many of the shortcuts are so obvious one doesn't even have to experiment or memorize it, like ¢ being Option+4 ($) or a • being Option+8(*).	[reply] [d/l]

The typographically correct quote characters are all arranged in those three... Except for ‹single guillemets› which are option-shift-3 and 4, and a few other random quotes scattered around in random locations. ｢Corner brackets｣ don't seem to be available at all (they are used for non-interpolating strings in perl6, and the alternative is `Q//`).
