Quotation Marks and other important signs
In lyrics, you often need quotation marks and I recommend to use typographical ones. Here is the ASCII-code for them. It looks better to type “Colin’s house” than "Colin's hose" on my opinion.
„ Alt + 0132
’ Alt + 0146
“ Alt+0147
” Alt+0148
« Alt+171
» Alt+187

Downside: I believe that uses the numbers on the NumPad, and many laptops don't have that.
And is Windows only.
But the F2 palette can also get used here.

Additionally: Those are not ASCII codes at all; rather, they're 8-bit “Windows ANSI” codes, which means they're language-dependent and therefore won't work for everyone.
Better to use something like WinCompose, which lets you use easy-to-remember key combinations and works in any language (and in any app).

There are very easy chordal keystrokes on the Mac, not specific to MS, that work everywhere. (option and option shift [ ] ), but you have to know them. I use them all the time.
