How to open the console
Make sure your console is enabled
  1. In your main menu, go to your options.
  2. And then navigate your keyboard settings, and open "Advanced"
  3. Then make sure the checkbox by "Enable Console" is checked.

Now to open the console
  • Simply hit your " ~ " tilde key, for US keyboards.
  • For EU keyboards, it should either be " | " or " ` ".
  • The location of they key should be the same for all keyboards; To your left of the number 1 key. Under the "ESC" key, and above the "TAB" key.
  • If none of these options worked for you. Keep reading down bellow.

Alternatively, if you can't find that key, or it's not working for you
  1. Make sure your Garrys mod is not running. Exit the game if you have it running.
  2. Navigate to Garry's Mod in Steam, and right click it. And navigate down to "Properties"
  3. Then select "Set Launch Options", and type in "-console" (Without the " " quote marks.)
  4. Next time you start Garry's Mod, the console should appear.
  5. OPTIONAL: Type in "bind <your key> +console" to bind another key to your console. So you can open it again in the future.

... Or if you can't find the key, you can simply change the console bind in options to another key you can find.
you don't need the -console parameter stuff.
