I would like to bind C-` (control-backquote) but I could not do it.
The sexp
(global-set-key "\M-`" 'other-window)
works, whereas
(global-set-key "\C-`" 'other-window)
doesn't. It fails with the "Invalid modifier in string" error.

A:
"\C-a" and similar do work because there is a ASCII code for them. There is none for C-`, simply use
(kbd "C-`")
By the way, this often more portable from one emacsen to another.

Since it is fair to answer my own question:
(global-set-key [?\C-`] 'other-window)
But I don't know the meaning of that extra question mark.

The question mark means read the next bit as a character instead of something else (like a list or string or vector, etc.).
