How to Enable the In-Game Console on Your Garry's Mod Client

Enabling the console in Garry’s Mod is a useful tool for players wanting to use cheat codes or run admin commands. 

How To Enable the Console for English Keyboards

  1. In the main game menu, select Options.
  2. Navigate to the Keyboard tab in the pop-up window that appears.
  3. At the bottom, select Advanced.
  4. Check the Enable developer console box.
  5. Press OK and then Apply to save your changes.

You can now open the developer console by clicking ~, or the key above the Tab key.

How to Toggle the Console for non-English Keyboards

If you have a non-English keyboard, you may want to change the keybind to toggle the console.

NOTE: Not all keys will bind to “toggleconsole”, so make sure to use a key that is not used regularly for typing. F1-F12 is most commonly used for this.
  1. In the main game menu, select Options.
  2. Navigate to the Keyboard tab in the pop-up window.
  3. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous Movement section.
  4. Select “Toggle developer console” and click Edit Key.
  5. Set the keybind to a key of your choice.

You can now toggle the console with this key!
