TAB does not open Admin Command Console
I changed my hotkeys so that TAB toggled the chat on a server, and then I wanted to be able to open the Admin Console again so I unbound the key. Now whenever I press TAB, nothing happens. I tried restarting Steam, my computer, and resizing the game's window format but nothing has worked. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall my game because I do not know if my save files will be wiped or not. Any suggestions?

Rebind the admin console back to tab.

It's a bindable key in the keybind settings and the way it works is if you change one thing to a key that's already used, the place it was previously used gets set to "null". So go into your keybinds and change it back to tab.. or some other key. I changed mine to tilde.

Edit: In case you have trouble finding it, in the keybinds interface, it's in the middle column, 2 below "Map". "Toggle Console" is what it is called.

Reinstalling will not cost you any data loss either btw. Just time.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
