Well, not me, at least. I always use ' (and I do a fair amount of coding / scripting)

So, you`re basically saying that all my theories suck?

Alt Gr + 7?? I have a key for ` on my keyboard. On my laptops too. It's directly on the left of the 1 key, on the same line.

Yeah, it depends on the localized keyboard.

I have the ` key almost right above the ' on the right hand side, so I can sort of see why some people use it (although you actually have to press shift to get it). I just can't understand why it's there as it's only used in names in Finnish and even then it's very rare.

Depends on the layout, i dont even know what use the character to the left of my one key is (other than an ümläüt when pressing shift). Thats what i posted before was, first the top row of keys on the keyboard, then the same while holding shift and then alt gr.

Pure ignorance I guess. Or laziness.

Localised keyboards weren`t something I'd ever considered.

For me, the keys above the ' are both brackets/parentheses of sorts. Specifically: [] and {}

Up-left is P and up-right is \ or with shift it`s |
