# Commands ## Opening the Console Commands are run on the console. To open it, press `` ` `` (the key above `TAB`).\ Note that this key generally only exists in this form on English keybords (ANSI US, ISO UK, ...). If you for example have a German keyboard you'll notice that this key is located left of `BACKSPACE` but won't open the console when you press it. To open your console you'll either have to switch to the English (US) layout **before** starting the game or rebinding the key to open console. ### Rebinding the console {% hint style="info" %} Make sure you updated [Northstar to version v1.5.0](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar/releases) or higher. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} The console can only be bound to ```"`"``` or one of the function keys ```"F1" - "F12"``` {% endhint %} To rebind it open Titanfall and navigate to `Controls > Settings > Key Binds` and change the `"Toggle Developer Console"` bind. If the `"Toggle Developer Console"` field is missing you can either disable all mods that don't start with `Northstar.` or rebind it manually. To rebind it manually make sure neither Titanfall nor Northstar are running, then go to `My Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2\local\` and open `settings.cfg`.\ Look for the line containing `toggleconsole`, i.e. ```txt bind "`" "toggleconsole" ``` and replace the `` ` `` key with your prefered key to open console. So if you want to open console with `F5`, change the line to ```txt bind "F5" "toggleconsole" ``` ## List of commands ### Northstar Commands | Command | Description | Value | |
