The shortcut key to open console in Sublime Text 2 does not work

Sublimetext2 Problem Overview

I'm using Sublime Text 2 (version 2.0.1) on Windows 7, and I haven't installed any plugins for this software. I can use menu to open the console, but I cannot open console via ctrl + ` shortcut. How to fix this problem?

Solution 1 - Sublimetext2

Magic Keyboard - US English - Apple

The title itself causes this answer to show up in Google search results for any operating system. So even though the details ask about Windows 7, I am including picture of the shortcut to the Mac because it will save some people a lot of time.

UK Keyboard

Use Ctrl+' to open the console.

When Ctrl+` is pressed, Sublime Text does not receive anything. It is therefore impossible to use this key combination for anything.

When Ctrl+' is pressed, Sublime Text actually receives Ctrl+` instead.

Debuging Keyboard Shortcuts

To see what Sublime Text is receiving, enter sublime.log_input(True) at the console. Obviously change True to False to turn this off.

Other programs can receive the physical Ctrl+` combination so it would seem the issue is within Sublime Text.

Solution 3 - Sublimetext2

If all else fails, try View > Show Console.

When I run conemu at the time, it seems to grab the ctrl-` and use it for minimize\restore. So I do get a console, just not the Sublime Text one...

Solution 4 - Sublimetext2

Solution/Workaround: using preferences options, you can change the key binding. I've changed mine to ctrl+f1

Solution 5 - Sublimetext2

This question is old but I just noticed that on windows 7 for me, ctrl + ' (apostrophe) opens the console not ctrl + ` (backtick) as seems to be documented everywhere.

I am using sublime text 3 though not 2. Also a UK keyboard.

Hope this makes things a little bit simpler for everyone.

Solution 6 - Sublimetext2

Finnish / Swedish / German / Hungarian layout:

ctrl + ö

Solution 7 - Sublimetext2

On Turkish Keyboard this can be achieved by pressing

Ctrl + Alt Gr + ,

Solution 8 - Sublimetext2

Brazilian Portuguese (ABNT2) shortcut is Control + Shift + Alt Gr (right) + `. It's so complicated that it's worth reassigning the shortcut to something more intuitive as Control + ' (the key on top of the Tab key).

Solution 9 - Sublimetext2

In French KB (Azerty), please use 'ctrl'+ 'ù' combinaison

Solution 10 - Sublimetext2

The shortcut for the console is

ctrl + `

not

ctrl + '

Notice the difference?

Solution 11 - Sublimetext2

For Sublime Text 3 on a Windows machine and using an azerty keyboard, CTRL+! is the shortcut that works for me.

Solution 12 - Sublimetext2

Portuguese keyboard (Sublime Text 3 in a Mac):

CTRL + <

Solution 13 - Sublimetext2

Spanish keyboard (Sublime 2, Mac)

ctrl + <

Solution 14 - Sublimetext2

I am using Sublime Text 3 build 3156 on Windows 8.1 system. My keyboard layout is us keyboard style. After enabling sublime.log_input(True), I find that pressing Ctrl+` shows nothing in the sublime text console.

Eventually, I just use Ctrl+' to bring up the console. Go to Preferences -> Key Bindings, add the following to user key binding setting:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+'"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "console", "toggle": true} },

Then everything works fine.

Solution 15 - Sublimetext2

For UK Keyboard Ctrl + ~
For Hungarian Keyboard Ctrl + ö
For Finnish Keyboard Ctrl + ö
For Swedish Keyboard Ctrl + ö
For German Keyboard Ctrl + ö

Solution 16 - Sublimetext2

Norwegian keyboard:

Ctrl+alt+´ (That's the key between +andDelete)

Solution 17 - Sublimetext2

The best way for user like me on AZERTY and Mac is too change the link to open it.

For this, go to Preferences > Key Bindings - Default Dont modify it it's useless it would be refreshed when you lunch Sublime Text.

There do a simple cmd+f and look for "console" Once you got it, copy past this and go too the Key Bindings - User just under the previous Key Bindings.

There you can modify it as you wish.

Solution 18 - Sublimetext2

Using Spanish layout (Qwerty), the shortcut key to open the console (confirmed with Sublime Text 3) is:

CTRL + ñ

Solution 19 - Sublimetext2

Danish keyboard (Mac):

Ctrl+Shift+´ (Apostrophe? Accent aigu? - the key between +andBackspace)

Solution 20 - Sublimetext2

In ubuntu on top right corner of sublime there will be a search bar go there and search for console and booom console will be in front of you without any shortcut key :)
