interesting note - while I don't need this mod (use an american keyboard) - in looking at the files, it appears that I can use them to change MY console key to something else.... (that is prime keyboard space up there...).
I know it's been 5 years but... how did you do that? I opened the mod's text file and I can't tell which column is which or what values to change. I want to set the console key to the Menu key ("application" key, by right Ctrl). I have some combat related mods that require more easy access to hotkeys on the left side of the keyboard and ~ is in a pretty convenient spot. For now, this mod DOES free that up, but now I can't use apostrophes in game. Would be nice to have both lol
Thank you! I ended up using this tool I found: https://hawk.bar/SkyrimControlMapper/ It made it a breeze to just import the controlmap.txt and select the desired key from a dropdown menu. I just had to make sure to replace ALL instances of the console key. I believe there were 3, depending on whether you were in the pause menu or already in the console? Anyway, working great!
Works greatly on SE! I was struggling to find a way to insert the quotation marks - trust me, I've tried dozens differente solutions - and finally made it thanks to your mod. Thanks!
Great little mod! Using a Logitech 613 keyboard, Swedish. Default Skyrim is using the § key (next to 1 key) to open the console, very anoying. With this mod it changes to another key far away, though not the tilde key.

So, thanks for sharing....
Then find a keyboard map (found one on google).
Here is the reference I tried... use the 0x ones, not the VK ones...
Best of luck.

It made it a breeze to just import the controlmap.txt and select the desired key from a dropdown menu. I just had to make sure to replace ALL instances of the console key. I believe there were 3, depending on whether you were in the pause menu or already in the console? Anyway, working great!
Thank you!
Using a Logitech 613 keyboard, Swedish. Default Skyrim is using the § key (next to 1 key) to open the console, very anoying.
With this mod it changes to another key far away, though not the tilde key.
