Well, surely there must be some kind of js-editor-thingy or firefox plugin that
will do this for you ? I recently ran into the opposite problem on OS X; it
generously turns regular quote-marks ("), into start-end-quotes. Not very
helpful when trying to post shell-code in a blog.
Anyway, every reasonable OS I've ever worked with has a nice visual keyboard
with all kinds of glyphs available -- any reason not to use that ?
Lastly a tip -- one lazy way to get around this, is to search for the character
on wikipedia, and then simply cut'n'paste the glyph you want, eg:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-than_sign#Less-than_sign_plus_equals_sign
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark_glyphs
(etc)
(This assumes your terminal is able to actually *render* the glyph, ofcourse).
