Hi ,
Following the steps you described, I was unable to reproduce the issue of not being able to activate the Console, then having a duplicate “^” key listed in the dropdown menu when trying to rebind the Console key. These are the steps I followed, please correct anything I may have missed:
- First, are you on a MAC or PC (I repro’d on a PC)
- Started a new Blueprint Third Person Project (w/ no Starter Content)
- Pressed Play
- Pressed “~” to bring up Console: Console was present
- Stopped game.
- Navigated to Project Settings/Engine/Inputs
- Added input for Console by pressing the “+” key
- Hit shift + 6 to get the “^” character
- Only one “^” appears in the drop-down
- Selected it
- Pressed play in editor
- Hit shift + 6 to activate the “^” character to bring up Console
- Console fails to open
- Change key to “*” key (from Num Keypad)
- Press “*” to bring up Console
- Console appears
To conclude I was not able to open the Console by hitting the “^” character, but also did not see a duplicate as you’ve described. Before I enter a bug report, I’d like to verify how you are selecting the “^”-key/character.
Thanks.
