Here's a different suggestion, which doesn't need a backtick to set up
the mapping:
:noremap <F3> <Char-0x60>
:noremap! <F3> <Char-0x60>
(or use anything else intead of F3 -- I chose it in this example
because, on my keyboard, it's just above the apostrophe). Now F3 (or
whatever other {lhs} you choose) should act as if it were a backtick, in
all modes in Vim. (What to do outside of Vim, e.g. in bash where it is
quite useful in order to get the stdout of one command as part of
another command-line, well, that's a different question.)
Are you sure you can't get a backtick on your keyboard? On mine, AltGr
together with a key which, depending on hardware construction, is either
just left of a narrow Backspace (if Enter is wide) or inside the corner
of a narrow Enter key (if Backspace is wide) gives a "dead grave
accent". That dead-grave followed by a space gives a spacing-grave
accent -- or backtick.
Normally, in Normal mode the backtick prefix and the apostrophe prefix
should do the same, except that the backtick works characterwise while
the apostrophe works linewise. If the one works, the other ought to work
too.
Best regards,
Tony.
