I think for consistency, we can go with automated style changes that use 
backticks to monospace:
     - file name and paths
     - daemons/services
     - configuration names and values
     - file content (use ```...``` block unless inline)
     - command-line
     - keyboard keys (dunno?)
     - any other inline text that needs to be written exactly

I have seen many times articles that say `Run "foo bar" (no quotes)` when they mean `Run `foo bar``.

For the exception you mentioned above it can be monospaced as part of automated change above.
