Title: Can't open console
Post by: putilladesconsolada on August 10, 2009, 09:24:16 PM
I tried to open console with the key which is left "1" key and it doesn't open, others keys doesn't work.

I have new version of tremoulous. I thinks it's because I have a spanish keyboard.

Anyone have any idea. Thanks.

AltGr + ~ should work too, asuming your tilde key is left from the return key on your spanish layout.

You could all so add
bind x toggleconsole
to your autoexec.cfg, which can be found in your base folder.  If you don't know what an autoexec.cfg is read this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=10945.0).

toggleconsole doesn't work at all well.

Problem is, that when the console is open, pressing the key x (or whatever toggleconsole is bound to) will only print out x, but not close the console again. That's why I find it very annoying that in some clients the devs have removed the ESC key as a way to close the console again. On a QWERTZ layout it is very annoying to spread out the fingers that much to hit the built-in toggleconsole bind altgr+~ as I have to take my right hand off the mouse.

you could always bind toggleconsole to a key you don't type with, say f12.

It still won't be able to close the console.

This is neither mentioned in the wiki nor does my client show it.

I use "cl_consolekeys kp_minus". It's only in newer clients, but the keys from this cvar will open AND close the console.

Code (changeconsole.cfg) Select
seta cl_consolekeys kp_minus
unbind ~
unbind `

Replying for someone else here who wanted to share :P

But ALTGR+4 works for spanish keyboards.

also my own suggestion
bind ~ "toggleconsole"
Change ~ to whatever key you wish.
