I am not ture if I understand you correctly, but if you just enter
D[f[x],x] or Dt[f[x],x] and then (without evaluating !) use
ConvertToTraditionalForm from the Cell menu you will get what you
seem to be asking for.
However, I do not know of any way to convert the result of evaluating
D[f[x],x] or Dt[f[x],x] (both are just f'(x)) to this form; in fact I
do not think it is possible without some convoluted FrontEnd
programming.
