 +====== Console ======
 +
 +Doomsday has an interactive text-based command console that is available in all games running on the engine. The console can be used to change configuration settings and issue commands.
 +
 +This page presents an outline of the basic functionality of the console and  introduces some of the most useful features.
 +
 +This article applies to [[version:1.11]] (or newer). If you are using an old version, see: [[introduction_to_the_console_1.10_or_older|Introduction to the console (1.10 or older)]]
 +
 +
 +===== Basic features =====
 +
 +
 +==== Opening and closing ====
 +
 +To open/close the console, press the **Tilde** key (~) on your keyboard (typically found under the **Escape** key with most keyboard layouts).
 +
 +The console can be opened and closed with the ''taskbar'' command. You can bind the command to any event you wish to use for opening/closing the console. **Tilde** is the default binding. (1.11+)
 +
 +<note>When input focus is on the console command line, key bindings from the "console" [[binding context]] are checked first. If a key is not defined there, it will be entered as text on the command line.</note>
