This mod no longer works with the latest version of Anno 1800 (GU 17).
I recommend using my mod menu for Anno 1800 ;)

Commands not working?
When you copy and paste the commands a weird special character gets added on the end of the command. Remove that character and it will work.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: remaps console to Shift+F1, no bloat
- Tiny download, zero performance impact
- Decent community trust for a utility (58 endorsements)
⚠️ Cons
- Only one keybind option — no customization for other keys
- Last updated in 2022, so might not work with newer game patches
- No documentation on compatibility with other mods or versions
For players who frequently use the console and find the default key awkward. Also for modders who need quick console access during testing. Skip if you rarely touch the console or prefer to keep your keybinds vanilla.
💡 Beginner Tips
- After installing, launch the game and press Shift+F1 to verify the console opens — if it doesn't, check that no other mod is conflicting with the keybind.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure Show Console is enabled in your load order; it's a simple plugin so it should work out of the box.
- Since this mod only rebinds the key, you can still use the default console key if you prefer — the mod just adds an alternative.
