My tilde(~) key doesn't work

H, I’m a newbee. My keyboard doesn’t recognize the tilde(~) key. When I press once, nothing happens. When I press twice it prints two ~~ key. I am trying to open console command window, but nothing happens. Have you got any solution? Thanks.

My guess is that you’re using an keyboard layout/language which uses the tilde key as a “dead key,” for example to create the ñ character.
In these cases, the key code doesn’t get sent to the editor after the first press in a way it recognizes.

Your option is to either re-bind the console command to another key in the editor/engine settings, or change to a keyboard layout in your system settings that doesn’t define this key as a dead key.

here’s a really old video i did showing you what to do in UE4, should work in UE5 as well, just more options.
