Backtick quoting selected text does not work like single quotes and double quotes
Currently, if you select some text and type a quote or a double quote, ST2 will place the quote at both ends of the selected text. This is a nice feature.
If, however, you are editing text in Markdown there is often the need to use backticks around code elements. When you select text and type a backtick the text is completely replaced by a single backtick. It would be nice if ST2 could place a backtick at each end of the selection.

The same thing happens when editing SQL, after selecting and table name you may want to surround it with backticks.
Although I think this should bin the defaults, you can enable this yourself. Search for the "Auto-pair single quotes" block when editing the default key bindings block. Copy this into the user key bindings, and replace all instances of ' with `.
Now that JS supports template strings, this is fast become a must have feature. Even Atom has it.
It'd be preferable to not replace the single quote key binding.
A bit late, but anyhow: There is no need to replace the single quote binding, just duplicate it and replace all the ' for ` on the block (there are three). As Gabe Muffington said, its implementable. Here is how it looks in mine, based on his advice:
