I have the following entry in ~/.inputrc "\e'": "`" # Alt+' -> ` and, as AltGr+' is not a valid combination in my keyboard layout, until mintty 3.1.6 by pressing it I was obtaining the wanted backtick character. However, since mintty 3.1.7, this key combination now produces nothing. One has to explicitly use LeftALt+' to obtain the backtick. This is inconvenient because one needs to use both hands, while AltGr+' can be easily triggered with a single hand. -- Enrico
