I notice when I press the double-quote key in a LyX-Code environment

this for the usual text environments (Standard, Quote etc.) but for
LyX-Code this seems wrong. LyX-Code is used for things like program
listings, where double quotes are usually understood to be ASCII 34s.
Copying and pasting code fragments containing slanted double quotes from
a LyX-Code environment into a program will generally produce errors
because of this.
I've tripped on this before and have now assigned the shortcut
command-sequence self-insert "
to Ctrl+Shift+' to produce ASCII 34. (On my keyboard Shift+' is the
straight double quote symbol which LyX converts into slanted quotes.) I
think a key combination to produce ASCII 34 should be part of "standard
LyX", specifically for the LyX-Code environment.
One workaround could be to use "listing" instead of LyXCode (Insert ->
Program Listing), with the option:
upquote=true
(to be typed in the Listing "Settings" window, "Advanced" tab)
