Console Key in Editor

[werner.poetzelberger]

I am having a bad time assigning console key mapping in the editor.

 

e.g.:

 

<item name="console_key" type="int">47</item>

 

It doesnt take many keys Dot . does work but many others dont.

 

What to do?

 

best.

Hi Werner,

 

Just tried to change the console key - it seems that this feature is working as expected ("/" button opens the console on Windows).

 

This parameter should be changed only in engine config. If you pass -engine_config <file.cfg> in editor startup parameters, please, make sure that you edited correct cfg file).

You can also try to force change console_key variable on engine startup:

• editor_x64 -console_command "console_key 47"

If you are using non-USA keyboard layout - could you please tell us what kind of language settings (locale) is set on your PC?

 

Thanks!

Couldnt you include that assignment to the editor like the for other keys?

Hi Werner,

 

Right now we will not add this button mapping into Editor key bindings UI, sorry.

 

Currently we have some issues with German / French locale -  some buttons can't be used for bindings (QWERTZ screenshot in attachment):

 

 

I will check if ascii 47 is part of that.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
