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.
Maybe there is a solution to enable and disable them with a keyboard
shortcut.
I guess this is not only a problem for backticks but also for ~ and ^
(which may be more useful for everyday programming), so a way to
disable/enable dead keys on the fly is probably really useful.

~ is Ctrl+Alt+~+Space
^ is Shift+^+Space
{ is Ctrl+Alt+{
[ is Ctrl+Alt+[
( is Shift+(
~ is the most tedious as D uses it a lot.. 4 key presses.
I've seriously thought about changing to an programmer or English layout
while programming..
