I don't have backticks on my keyboard, so I use them only when they
are needed. They have even removed the backticks in the Python2 ->
Python3 transition partially because of this (and partially because
there is a more obvious way to do it in Python, and Python tries to
keep only one obvious way to do things).

Yeah, I hate backticks too.. I have to press Shift+` followed by space.
But often space won't work as the text editor understands that space
cannot be accented or something. So I often press ` twice and backspace
to delete the last one. This gives me 4 key presses just for a single
character... Wee...

On Linux/X11 this could be fixed by disabling "dead keys" (at least as
long as you don't need them to place accents on letters, which depends
on the languages you're writing in).
Dunno what the equivalent to this setting for Windows or OSX is though.

I need it for my language, but very rarely, so I wouldn't miss it much.
I haven't heard of this before, but I'll try to search around for solutions for windows.
Thanks for the tip.
