Yes, you have to press the '"' key maually. But what I meant with the 
non-manual magic quotes function of LyX, is that LyX inserts the correct 
quotation marks austomatically, i.e. “ and ” in the workarea and `` and 
'' in the source (for English). Now, what I was hoping for is that I can 
get LyX to automatically use “ and ” not only in the work area but also 
in the output, i.e. `` and '' should be changed to “ and ”. LaTeX seems 
to have no problem with the “ and ” characters.
