Hi, I recently finished creating a console, with the help of the article posted here a while ago. It works and everything but there is one thing I need help with. I'd like to have it so that the console is de/activated by using the key to the left of the 1 key. I think it's called the tilde key but I can't find any DIK_ value for it. Do you have any tips? :)

The tilde key is this "~" IIRC. On American keyboards I believe it is next to the 1, on English keyboards it is next to the enter key with the # symbol.

There has been a thread about this recently - I seem to recall it was DIK_GRAVE.

DIK_GRAVE

Sweet, thank you very much! Strange name though. :)

The name isn't strange at all. On some keyboards (like the UK keyboard on my laptop) the key next to the '1' is a french accent-grave, which might explain the name.

The grave (`) mark is the actual key; a shift is required for the tilde (~).

Hmm okey, well that makes sense then. However, I wonder why it's known as tilde in that case.

I have a UK keyboard, and it's a "backtick" ` and this: ¬

Tilde is on a totally different key on UK keyboards (along with the hash #)

On my FR keyboard, I've got a 2 at the left of the 1 key.
The tilde ~ is in third-level shift on the 2 key and on shift 2 (xmodmap settings)
The backtick ` is in third-level shift on the 7 key.
The negation ¬ is in third-level shift on the 2 key (xmodmap settings)

Fascinating.
