Expected Behavior
When registering the back quote or single quote, the keystroke that triggers the event should be the same that was used to register it.
Ideally, the event would trigger when pressing the key that was registered only while using the keyboard layout that was being used when the key was registered. In other words, If I register back quote using UK layout and switch to US layout, the back quote should not trigger the event.
Actual Behavior
When I register the back quote (`) the event triggers when pressing the back quote using the US layout, it also triggers when pressing the single quote using the UK layout.
When I register the single quote (') the event triggers when pressing the single quote using the US layout, it does not trigger when pressing either the single quote or back quote using the UK layout.
