On my Mac keyboard the key that is configured to open the console ("`" – which is "~" when shift is pressed) is inbetween Z and Shift. I want to bind that key to Sprint, but can't persuade UrT to stop toggling the console when it's pressed.

So far I've added this snippet:

unbind "~"
unbind "`"

to this file:

~/Library/Application Support/Quake3/q3ut4/autoexec.cfg

It doesn't have any effect, and "`" still resolutely opens the console.

Is it possible to unbind it? I'd build UrT from source in order to turn this damned key off, if I could. I spent years playing UrT on Linux before getting a Mac, and rely on using that key to Sprint.

Cheers.

I'm not sure if you've thought of this or not, but you could use software keyboard editors to change the key to something else. I'm not exactly sure what they're called, but they basically allow you to change your keys. Like I could make pushing X activate Z instead, or P activate CTRL.

Interesting idea, thanks. It hadn't occurred to me…

Try a different keyboard layout, where that button is not ` or ~ and you can bind it.

BTW, shift-esc opens the console on any platform (in fact any key will open the console but only a few do close it).
