Console Enable for non English Keyboards
I am using a Danish keyboard.
When I first tried to use my old key (that work in previous Fallout series and aslo in Skyrim) , the one above Tab, to open the developer console, nothing happened.
So I tried all other keys on the keyboard but still no luck. After I tried and when used the “Æ” above “.” the console opened.
This might happen to others using non English keyboards so here it is a solution/work around for the problem.
Endorsements are not the reason why I created this but will help others knowing about the solutions we discovered.
Update
There are other keys that work without needing to use this mod. See below.
This mod can still be used for convenience OFC, so you don’t have to remember an extra key and have it where it used to be in previous games.
Turns out that on Danish keyboards you just need to use the “æ” key and the console will open.
Let me know what keys work with other languages so I can Update it here and people can find the solution right away.
Keys tested to work
Danish keyboards you just need to use the æ key
French keyboard it’s ù (near M), submited by stegano
German keyboards its ö, (right to l), submited by Nathan000
Swiss keyboard it’s ¨ (left to Enter), submited by shisoka
Requirements (only if you want to bind to another key)
You will need to install AutoHothKey
Instructions
It’s a AutoHothKey script that changes the “½” (in my case) to “Æ”.
The script is very simple so you can adapt it to your situation.
Just replace the the “½” (or your key of choice) and “Æ” to whatever keys your keyboard uses.
Use Notepad or other Text editor, make sure to save it with the extension “.ahk”.
Save it on your desktop or any other place you like.
Double click it so it runs Autohokkey before launching the game.
It will be on your System tray with green Autohotkey symbol/icon.
After finishing the game you can just right click the icon and choose exit so your keyboard layout is back to normal.
On a 101-key US keyboard this is not a problem, the tilde key is located just above the TAB key. US Keyboard Layout below.
The correct key used to be the one that has the ½ and § symbols on it. Danish Keyboard Layout below.
In Skyrim or Fallout 3/NV The console could be accessed in-game by toggling the ’tilde key’ (the actual key could be ~, º, ¬, |,^, \, §, ², etc.. depending on your keyboard layout), found near the “1” and “Esc” keys on most keyboards.

Other solutions:
Binding it to F12 or other key of your choice
; Map grave accent/tilde key (`/~)
F12::SendEvent {vkC0sc029}
+F12::SendEvent +{vkC0sc029}
; On some systems you may need to use the less optimal mapping (this is the one I am using with “½” and you can download here)
