How to enter the console in Crusader Kings 2
It is relatively simple to enter the console, as there are two ways to go about it. On your keyboard, you need to enter either the grave accent or backtick, or alternatively the section sign.
The backtick is located to the left of the 1 on US keyboards. Alternatively, you can use ALT + 126 to make it. For the section sign, there are various methods if you can’t find it in your keyboard. On most international keyboards, the sign section can be made by pressing ALT + 21, alternatively on Windows you can use ALT and the keypad numbers two and one.
