I have mapped some frequently used special characters using AutoHotKey, mostly to Function keys on the keyboard. But if you are constantly using more that ten or twenty characters, your hot-key combinations could get rather complex.
I have been doing this so long now, that as I type anywhere, I instinctively reach for the F1 and F2 keys to insert curly quote marks, even in a plain-text email! Habit is a wonderful thing!
