Please keep keystrokes alphanumerical.
I frequently use three types of keyboards; American keyboards, Swedish
PC keyboards, and Swedish Sun keyboards. Backticks is generated with
`, S-´ and M-' respectively.
Most non-alphanumerical keys aren't this bad (some¹ are even worse,
being silent keys depending on what X server and/or terminal emulator
used) but most have at least two different ways of being typed, and
remembering a alphanumerical key is imho easier, unless it's a
well-known symbol (`|' for piping etc).
