The backtick key runs the quoted-insert function.  If you want it to
simply insert itself, then put

   setkey ("self_insert_cmd", "`");

in your .jedrc keybindings_hook.  If you do not have such a hook, create it
by adding

   define keybindings_hook (emulation)
   {
     setkey ("self_insert_cmd", "`");
   }

to your .jedrc file.

About the ~ key; Are you using jed via ssh?  The ~ key is an escape
character for ssh allowing you to suspend the ssh session.
