Backtick sounds like a nice idea ergonomically (requires no modifiers,
even shift, on american keyboard), which is important because that
command might be used often, especially with numeric prefix and
command postfix (`3 ` o' to save the file and such.)

Perhaps in this case ergonomy is more important than mnemonic-ness.
The people who think otherwise can always press `W M B' or something.
