No, they are not. There is no ´ (acute accent) key per se; the ' key is used
for apostrophes/single quotes and (when shifted) double quotes, and it is
part of the setup key for letters with an acute accent. The ` key, when
shifted, gives ~. It's actually rather a mystery why this key is present at
all. I do use a tilde (so-called, though it's too low to be an accent over a
letter) instead of an en dash or round bullet sometimes to separate items in
display text, and of course it's used in URLs, but I see no practical use of
the ` at all except as part of the setup key for letters with a grave
accent.

So you are saying that ´ and ` aren't "dead" keys on a standard US/UK
keyboard layout?

But that's still an international keyboard layout. With the standard
US/UK layout, we have to use the built-in keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+`, e.

I just wrote ` because the actual keystrokes required are different
depending on your keyboard layout. On my Swedish keyboard, I will have to
type Shift+´ to accomplish `.

? Is that on a French keyboard? On "English (US)," it's Ctrl-`, e
(same for each vowel with grave accent, cap or l.c.).
