If you attempt to change the bind for "toggleconsole" in your config.cfg to "§" (some nonglish keyboard layouts) it will cause Source Engine based games (HL:Source, HL2, CS:Source, DoD:Source) to crash on startup.

To fix this, you will need to bind your toggleconsole key to some other key.

NOTE: Not all keys will bind to toggleconsole, avoid any normal typing characters or numbers.

Function Keys work well for this (F1 - F12).

You might need to edit your config.cfg or userconfig.cfg to add the bind (use notepad).

example:

 bind "F12" "toggleconsole"

The usual default is:

 bind "~" "toggleconsole"
