Disabling Auto pair Markdown syntax disables autopairing backticks

[holroy]

Which keyboard layout are you using?

It sounds like a non-english variant, so you might need to type ` plus space to get one bactick, and repeat that three times for three backticks.

Also see the note below:

Auto pair markdown code syntax does not work on other keyboards than US (on MacOS)

I’ve now searched a little related to this, and according to About the backtick on a French Mac keyboard, you can seemingly install a tool called Ukulele and do some magic to make it not be a dead-key. I’ve not yet installed it, and I’m not sure how to actually type stuff using the dead key if you do the modifications as suggested. I’ll come back to you with more information if I get around to installing it.
