July 26, 2018 -- run and tested in Sublime Text 3.1.1 (subl)

1. In subl, go to menu item, "Sublime Text"-->Preferences-->"Key Bindings"
2. Copy and paste below config to "Default.sublime-keymap" file & save.
3. Test it out by opening file and:
     3.1 highlight a contiguous select (single and/or multi-word)
          3.1.2 type back tick (`) --> should surround selection with back ticks.
     3.2 highlight multiple areas via subl multi-cursor 
          3.2.2 type back tick (`) --> should surround all, multi-cursor selections with back ticks.
