📋 About This Mod

I am using a Danish keyboard.

When I first tried to use my old key (that work in previous Fallout series and also in Skyrim) , the one above Tab, to open the developer console, nothing happened.

So I tried all other keys on the keyboard but still no luck. After I tried and when used the "Æ" above "." the console opened.

This might happen to others using non English keyboards so here it is a solution/work around for the problem.

Update

The Fallout 4 Wiki as published most of these settings

There are more in the discussion area, have a look there if you can't find a suitable solution on this page.

There are other keys that work without needing to use this mod. See below.

This mod can still be used for convenience OFC, so you don't have to remember an extra key and have it where it used to be in previous games.

Turns out that on Danish keyboards you just need to use the "æ" key  and the console will open.

Let me know what keys work with other languages so I can Update it here and people can find the solution right away.
