API SetConsoleKey

Last wiki revision 2022-07-21

Sets the console key (normally ~). SetConsoleKey(key)

  • key: - The character to bind to opening the console overlay, or to disable the console binding.
  • The console is only accessible when WoW is started with the "-console" parameter. This function does nothing if the parameter wasn't used.
  • The console key is not saved by the WoW client, and will revert to the default (backtick) key when WoW is restarted.
  • Unlike the function, you can only provide the values of keys that represent standard ASCII characters; no modifiers are allowed. For instance, won't work, but will. In addition, non-alphabetic keys that require modifiers to access, such as using, cannot be used.
  • The console key overrides all other key bindings in WoW, regardless of context. This means that if you set it to, you'll be unable to type the F character in chat until you restart WoW.
