 I give up! Somehow I didn't understand the " ".  
The back ticks are right under the esc key on top left side of USA keyboard don't know German?

Use 3 back tics to post code instead of code tag which apparently causes some people great difficulty ;-))

If I recall correctly, something like this was used at Discord for posting code lines.

It doesn't cause any difficulty, it's just muscle memory. For developers who work in GitHub, or in Atlassian Jira, Confluence, etc. this is a common thing. For people chatting on Discord, or slack, or whatever, it is also common there.

Just trying to make it a little easier to post higher quality content that is easier to read for us.

Great job @grymmjack -- at this rate, I'm going to have to give you the exceptional 10% pay increase this year, instead of the normal 5% maximum which we normally offer!! Keep up the excellent work!

Ha! Thanks.

But isn't it the key on the top-right, next to the "ss" character? Might have to use [SHIFT] for it.

If that's not a grave accent, what is it?

Somebody who writes "man" pages in English and German must use a German keyboard. There "single-quotes" are all over the place, opening with CHR$(96) and ending with CHR$(39). It looks funny.

@mnrvovrfc - What you are showing is a special keyboard in German. A normal German keyboard looks like this (this is how mine is too):

It's pretty frustrating to have to switch to an English keyboard.

I'm boggled some Linux OS have keyboard configurations. Configure English (US) with a change to [CAPS LOCK] or another key. I had to reject a good distro which gave me a [CTRL] key that was totally dead. I didn't know how to make it work in a Windows program which is one of my favorites.

I would have to look into it. But if the circumflex/umlaut key on the top left corner, below [ESC] and above [TAB], is rarely used or not at all, there should be a way to remap it into the grave accent and tilde from the English keyboard. However, someone is maybe not eager to do it for the sake of forum writing...

I have a Logitech keyboard that has only one light, for [CAPS LOCK]. It cannot indicate by itself the status of [NUM LOCK]! That is epic fail. Now to see any keyboard which has a light for [SCROLL LOCK] causes me to have a flashback. Big Grin

@mnrvovrfc haha I had this awesome program for DOS called Termin8 which animated the numlock, scroll lock, and capslock keys in a sequence as a kind of funky feature for their intro installer. It was pretty sweet. I was like "whoa!!!"

Actually I use scroll lock, caps lock and numlock all the time and couldn't have a keyboard without them. Though on ones that are missing there are software LED apps you can install (on MacOS at least) so you can see status of those. Would bet they exist in Linux and Windows too.
