How to open the console in Quake Live?
You might need your console pretty often to customize quake live. But how exactly do you open the Quake Live console?
Opening the quake live console for the first time can be done with the key combination Ctrl + Alt + ² on an azerty keyboard or Ctrl + Alt + ~ on a qwerty keyboard. In both cases it’s the key next to the “1” on the far left side.
Once you’ve reached the game console, type com_allowconsole 1. This command will allow you to open the console by just typing ² key on an azerty keyboard or the ~ key on a qwerty keyboard, so you no longer will need to use CTRL+ALT.
There you go, now you know how to open the console in Quake Live. Next up, customizing the game to your needs!

Nice ty!
dont work….mines is a laptop…anythin different for that?
It has to be that button regardless of what character is on it. For example my button in that position has ?? printed on it… Just push the button next to the 1 whilst holding CTRL and ALT
dosn’t work do i hav to enter a game or sumthing or do i do it sum were else plz tell me
add this to your autoexec.cfg:
seta com_allowconsole “1”
Some will have foreign keyboards where this doesnt work, like norwegian. Although we have a to z, sometimes the console button doesnt work at all in many games, but i think maybe qlive is fine
on my computer (desktop btw) i have to press the ` button- in the place of what holysh1t calls the wierd s one (top left)
At first it was ctrl + alt + del then i typed that command to let u open it with ~ but that doesnt work it lets me open it with `. still works, but is a bit different
can you please tell me the complete step by step to open it you just said press ctrl+alt+` i mean do i have to be on the game or just press it
im on mac and the ~ is at a differrent place and it dont work
where do i find the autoexec.cfg on mac?
thanks!
IDK why it wont work but i have tried every way people have said to do it but it just wont work!!!! I know I can do it on my PC because it popped up randomly in a game PLEASE HELP!!!!!
What keyboard layout are you using?
dude IDK GET IT CUS ~and` ARE THE SAME BUTTON ON MINE and that guy a few comments back sed it doesnt work when you do ~ it only works when you do ` but they are the same button so do i have to be in the game then do it or is it another button im on a toshiba taptop is that different
? PLEASE TELL ME
Well, you need to press CTRL + ALT + ~
You need to do this in-game! Yes they are the same but it doesn’t matter, just push that button (with CTRL + ALT).
You need to change you keyboard layout.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Imput Sources… > Imput Sources
Then choose any layout except ‘U. S. International – PC’
