What is Backtick?

Backtick is a Chrome extension that enables software developers to format code in Google Docs using Markdown-style backticks. It offers features such as auto-formatting for inline code, customizable colors, and support for multiple Google accounts. The extension has limitations regarding cursor position and existing backtick characters, and it processes Docs data securely client-side.

Update Aug 11, 2023:

About a year after this extension first came out, Google released built-in inline code markdown support for Google Docs, rendering this extension obsolete for most use-cases. The extension will remain for those want to continue using it, but I don't intend on making any further updates. To get the built-in inline code and code blocks working via backticks, ensure the Tools -> Preferences -> "Automatically detect Markdown" checkbox is enabled inside Google Docs.

Write inline code inside Google Docs. Just enclose a word or phrase with backticks and it will be automatically formatted as inline code.

A great tool for software developers who are used to the feature in Slack, Github, Jira, Markdown files, etc.

Features

• Auto-format inline code using backticks • Customizable text color • Customizable highlight color • Extension on/off toggle • Support for multiple Google accounts • Secure and private. Docs data is processed client-side.
