You can't tell javascript to behave differently. There is no DWIM statement

I would try something like getSelection().replace(/"/g,""&quot ; Which should replace all " with the entity "

Admittedly, I would have to fuss with it to get it right, quote chars are tricky.

On Edit, quotes are tricky and du accepts the XML entity quot and translates it into a quote, so in the above line, the " inside the "" should be the entity & quot ; without the spaces.
