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

Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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 :)

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.
