But why are you doing this manually at the first place? You can simply 
type straight ("plain") quotation marks temporarily and use Autoquote 
script to convert them to proper quotation marks.

@John Ghormley, but aren't straight quotation marks considered incorrect 
in english? I remember some typographers considered it a typographical 
sin using straight instead of curly quotation marks. Not to mention 
confusion with double prime sign.
