I've bound a key to "toggleconsole". I am not able to open the console on/off by holding this key in the main game menu.
I can get the console to open on game start by adding -console in the launch parameters though.
If I close the console, I won't be able to reopen it until I join a server and hold the key while being in-game (still doesn't work if I'm in the main game menu).

An other issue is that the console is no longer toggleable, if I hold my toggleconsole key while the console is open, it doesn't close or bring me back in-game.

Probable duplicate of #853.

It's not a duplicate. As I've said I've bound an other key to toggleconsole. The other bug is just that the user want to bind it to keys that are not recognized by HL1 Engine. Please reopen.

The HL1 engine doesn't properly support rebinding the console key, marking this as a feature request.

Fixed by the latest release, toggleconsole can now be rebound.

This change disabled backtick working for me to open the console, and I cannot seem to "bind ` toggleconsole" either.
On Qwerty, en_GB.

FSR, there are two entries for toggleconsole in config.cfg, ~ is always overriding my user set option.
Even if it wasn’t, the key is being ignored by goldsrc.

bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind "~" "toggleconsole"
