I suggest learning to use the Compose key. For instance with no clipboard use at all, it enables «this».

Compose+<+< and then to close compose+>+>

Also see “curly” quotes: compose+<+" and compose+>+". This illustrates the power of composing: I had forgotten the shortcut, because I rarely use it, but I was able to guess it in 3 tries.
