in thread What is your favorite alternate name for a (specific) keyboard key?

On a UK QWERTY keyboard the backtick and tilde keys are not only different keys but also widely separated. I don't think you would ever find a British hacker referring to the backtick key as "tilde" or vice-versa.

    Fascinating. That's a nice tidbit of information there.

    I guess that means it isn't your favourite then. :)
