How to use block num in gvim, or backticks with italian keyboard?

I'm using gVim and italian keyboard (no backticks开发者_高级运维).

On windows the only way to type backticks is block-num + alt + 96, yes, very sad. More sad when you find that block num does not work on gvim :(

Can you tell me how to activate block num on gvim? or a fastest way to type beacktick on windows, in gvim as well?

Thanks

If your keyboard layout is the same as that shown on Wikipedia, you could map ` to \, and map \ (if you use it as a leader key, for example) to, say, _ (which would be even easier to type than \ in that layout).

:noremap \ `
:let g:mapleader = '_'
