Sounds like a good idea for me. ` is normally a dead character on Swedish
keyboards so I either have to hit it twice or hit space afterwards. Well,
actually I created my own keyboard layout, so I easier could reach UTF-8
characters, without using the compose key etc, but since I didn't know of
the meaning of ` I didn't touch it, however I put a non dead variant at
AltGr+Shift+´, which isn't a lot easier than just hitting Shift+´ twice…
It's, however, easy to change that. Maybe I should just exchange places
between the dead `´ and the non dead `´. Or use the $() construcion instead…
Thanks for the info.
