📋 About This Mod
This simple little mod allows you to bind another key to open the console (default is F4) which is very useful if your tilde key does not work. If you wish to change the key that opens the console simply open the console and type in \"Set ConsoleKey to Number\", consult THIS for a list of valid key numbers.
