Can't open console

[putilladesconsolada]

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.

Ty anyways.

Finally i solved changed my keyboard to US configuration.

So i will change my keyboard configuration every time y play trem.

Thanks.

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

You could all so add

Code Select Expand

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.

toggleconsole doesn't work at all well.

It works well in-game doesn't it?

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 Expand

seta cl_consolekeys kp_minus
unbind ~
unbind `

Replying for someone else here who wanted to share

But ALTGR+4 works for spanish keyboards.

also my own suggestion

Code Select Expand

bind ~ "toggleconsole"
Change ~ to whatever key you wish.
