Description
===========
This is a simple OBSE plug-in that changes the key you press to switch to the command console.

Instead of pressing the tilde key (~ or ¬) you now press the key you've defined in your Oblivion.ini file (it defaults to F12).

When you first run the plug-in it will add a new section and entry to your Oblivion.ini file. The section will be called [ConsolePlus] and the new entry will be called iConsoleKey. You set this to the Virtual Key code of the key you want to toggle the console.

This is a table of the Virtual Key codes (I've not included any keys that you would need to type into the console i.e. a-z, 0-9 or any of them more obscure ones) and the numberic value that you put into iConsoleKey:

1 - Left mouse button
2 - Right mouse button
4 - Middle mouse button
5 - X1 mouse button
6 - X2 mouse button
9 - Tab
12 - Clear Key
16 - Shift Key
17 - Ctrl Key
18 - Alt Key
19 - Pause Key
20 - Caps Lock Key
27 - ESC Key
33 - Page Up key
