I use markdown-mode for editing Markdown. When I'm trying to edit code blocks defined using backquotes (`) or multiple backquotes, my cursor skips over the backquotes, making it hard for me to edit them. It didn't always behave this way. How do I get the old behavior back, where there's nothing special about cursor movement around backquotes? (Or anywhere else.)

  • Do you see this behavior when you run `emacs -Q`? The `-Q` flag disables your personal and site-level init files. If you don't see this new behavior then try [bisecting your init file](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/13868/how-to-get-emacs-to-locate-the-error-in-my-init-file-without-relaunching/13997#13997) until you find the cause of this new behavior. – nega Mar 11 '19 at 19:55
  • I don't see how I can do that and still have markdown-mode accessible. (I suspect that it was a change in markdown-mode itself that's responsible, but it could be some more complicated combination of markdown-mode version with other factors.) – ceridwen Mar 11 '19 at 20:21
  • Start emacs with `emacs -Q your_file.md`, then do `Meta-x markdown-mode Ret` to enable `markdown-mode`. – nega Mar 11 '19 at 20:34
  • `Meta-x markdown-mode` says, "No match," presumably because I installed the package with MELPA and it lives in `emacs.d/elpa/markdown-mode-VERSION`. Is there a way around that? – ceridwen Mar 11 '19 at 22:12
  • @ceridwen you should be able to `M-x load-file` and point it to the entry file of `markdown-mode`. –  Mar 11 '19 at 23:56
  • It looks like an interaction between [ergoemacs-mode](https://github.com/ergoemacs/ergoemacs-mode) and markdown-mode. Any advice on tracking down the cause? – ceridwen Mar 12 '19 at 01:55
