Re:Go generics may use square brackets [] not parenthesis () by Macha on Wednesday July 15, 2020 @06:16AM (#23843266)
Cases where ` 's are used for quoting are a big example of this. Typing `example` turns into èxample` on my keyboard because the backtick key is a modifier for the next press. To type `example`, I need to type:

* On Linux: ``example`

* On Windows: ``<left>example

Some editors even turn the latter into ```` when I double press the backtick as no symbol renders prior to that.

at least for windows you can change the keyboard layout to directly output the deadkeys, example for german: https://github.com/RAnders00/Deutsch-ohne-Tottasten

if none is available for your language you can build it yourself: https://zauner.nllk.net/post/0014-windows-no-dead-keys/
