In most cases, (as long as it is after loading an emulation (as "cua.sl"
or "emcs.sl") it will suffice to write

   setkey ("self_insert_cmd", "`");

. I use:

% quoted insert: I need ` more than <degree-sign>
setkey("self_insert_cmd", "`");
if (_slang_utf8_ok)
   setkey("quoted_insert", "°");
else
   setkey("quoted_insert", "\d176");
