Hi, simple question. Ever since I upgraded to 4.7 the console isnt on its usual place anymore. Now there is a ‘Search for help’ bar there. How do I get the console back? I have searched everywhere and I can’t find it.

Apparently this key does nothing here. Any other ideas?
Nevermind - changed the key binding to another one and it works now.
press the below “esc” key and above "tab"key “~” key to get the console to display

On a UK keyboard, you use the same physical key, but the key is actually ’ ` ’ instead of ’ ~ '.
if anyone still got problems opening the console while TEST PLAY: PRESS SHIFT + F1 for mouse input.
Only then i was able to pass the command (whatever key it is mapped for) for opening the console to the editor test game.
This is crap, it doesnt work.

ì’m not able to get the console back 
Pressing ~ Key but nothing happens. Did a rebind but that opens a search bar in the bottom center of the screen and when i try typing something ue crashes
Murweth
Same happens to me too
EDIT:
I got it to work. Don’t replace the first binding but place an additional binding to it. This helped in my case.
I reinstalled UE4.19 and it works again!

Hey Coco,
I did a reinstall of 4.19 and that did the trick for me 
because “Where is the console” and why its not in the window menü^^
unreal 4.18
for the german keyboard i set this key again, a small console window appear at play after i hit shift-f1 and then the console key.
(i need it to verify the navigation at runtime with “show navigation” there)

Or you just go to Window/Developer Tools/Output Log!
Done!
Windows > Developer Tools > Output log
Here you can type in your commands.
You can type help to open the help in your browser, or you can type ?, ie questionmark after the command name to get the help for this particular command.
