Asked @ iquakes3 fb presence:
“Hi - is it possible to re-allocate the console key in ioquake3 somehow?
In the original game it was “^” – and I need the “>” key for one of my standard gaming controls. :-7”
ioquake3 replied:
“You can hit shift+escape to bring down the console or rebind it using the cvar cl_consoleKeys more details here: https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3/blob/master/README.md”
I replied:
"Sorry, but this doesn’t work for me.
I succeeded in rebinding the “invoke console” command to BACKSPACE (cl_consoleKeys “BACKSPACE”).
Now the console comes up and down, whenever I hit the BACKSPACE key.
Still, when I use the “<” key during gameplay, the console comes down nonetheless to annoy me.
Strange: Hitting the “<” for a second time doesn’t make the console disappear again; instead it produces a “<<<<<<” output in the command line of the console. I MUST use Backspace to close it again.
wtf? :("
“Oh, btw. System is MacOS 10.6.8.”
