On QWERTZ, backtick ` is: a dead key, situated left of backspace, and it's in the "upper row", too.
So there the combo is actually Alt+Shift+´+Space, in need of two hands - it's very hard to imagine a worse default key combo choice for this task, compared to Alt+Tab. I'm glad you made it configurable.
Fun fact: one of the first public drafts for multi-line Strings in Java expected the delimiter to be ```, until I pointed out the issue as above to Brian Goetz at JAX in Mainz where he had presented said draft. My proudest professional moment.
Take away: If you deal with keyboard magic and ergonomics, spend a couple minutes to check your assumptions behind your defaults in the other big keyboard layouts.
I honestly expected this to be from another "really cool date" - April 1st :D
