How to close command console on PC?

How do you close the command console which is summoned by "~"? I've got to use ALT-F4 to close the game to solve it. It's annoying to me in SP but very annoying to the entire squad in MP. Hitting "~" doesn't work.

  • I dont' recall needing to press "enter" before or after pressing the "~" key.

    "~" opens it and pressing "~" again closes it....as I recall.

  • |=pipe is the key on my keyboard - but I am not able to check, and guess that I will be corrected briefly if I am wrong.

  • It's the same key you use to open it. Maybe you have to press enter first so it doesn't assume you're still typing.

    Nope, no dice.

    I've tried the
     enter" "|" "enter"  and "enter" "~" "enter", neither works for me.

    The only solution remains the nuclear option: ALT-F4.

  • I don't have any other soultion for closing it, but you can download a program called Autohotkey:

    http://download.cnet.com/AutoHotkey/3000-2084_4-10279446.html

    This program allows you to change the result of pressing keyboard keys. So you could make pressiing the "K" key return a "Y"

    All you need to do is install the program and create and .AHK file with the following:

    `::\

    This will cause the ` key (the unshifted ~ key) to return the backslash which is unused by default in Dragon Age. Then you won't have any problems with accidentally pressing it.

    "~" opens it and pressing "~" again closes it....as I recall.

    Sundance, thank you. The easiest way seems to do the trick. Little old me and my squad of goons thank you profusely.

    @Olyvus How did it help this time? You said you tried the tilde key before, and I said you have to use the same to you used to open the console. What did you do differently this time?

    Every tim I tried hitting enter to aknowledge the command. That screwed it up. Usually I get too worked up after seeing my screen fill up with 1-4 and qwsd-combinations. For some reason just hitting ~ didn't seem to do the job.
