MacOS – how to change “§” (section symbol) key to write “`” (back quote)

keyboardmacos

I'm using back quote many times but never use the '§' symbol.

I'd like to change the key to always write back quote instead. does anyone know how can I change it programtically?

You can use Karabiner to remap keys on your keyboard.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <item>
    <name>Section to Back quote</name>
    <identifier>sectiontobackquote</identifier>
    <autogen>
      __KeyToKey__
      KeyCode::UK_SECTION | ModifierFlag::NONE,
      KeyCode::BACKQUOTE
    </autogen>
  </item>
</root>
