Expected results:
Pootle has an option, to create a set of shortcuts for common special characters per locale. This is especially useful on OS-es other than Linux, as e.g. creating Hungarian quotes is quite painful. It would be great if Pontoon had something similar.
Attached screenshot just to be sure.

A good example of a use case is with the Guarani letter 'G̃/g̃' which is not a precomposed letter in Unicode and not part of virtual keyboards for Guarani (if any such keyboards exist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_language#Writing_system

In Q3 we'll be rewriting the frontend code of the translate page.
Let's postpone this feature until we're done with the rewrite.

Just for the record, if someone stumbles on this bug with a similar issue. My current workaround is using AutoHotKey, and it's quite a good solution, as it works everywhere. This is my AHK script:
^!Z::
Send, –
return
^!O::
Send, „
return
^!P::
Send, ”
return
^!T::
Send, …
return
AltGr+O and AltGr+P prints Hungarian quotation marks, AltGr+Z prints an en dash (we don't use em dashes), and AltGr+T prints the triple dot (which is now mostly redundant in Pontoon).
