They have even removed the backticks in the Python2 ->  Python3 transition partially because of this (and partially because there is a more obvious way to do it in Python, and Python tries to keep only one obvious way to do things).

Yeah, I hate backticks too.. I have to press Shift+` followed by space. 
But often space won't work as the text editor understands that space 
cannot be accented or something. So I often press ` twice and backspace 
to delete the last one. This gives me 4 key presses just for a single 
character... Wee...
