I have no key to enter the console with, I have to go via the menu.

usually its the | key in windows, but earlier in linux I got there via the
shift + \ keys.

The tilda key (~) should drop you into the console.

You can remap the x events (xev I think?) but it will then apply to all
X applications...

Try edit (or create) autoexec.cfg in mod folder (usually baseq2) with
added line:

bind F11 "toggleconsole"

I choose F11 because no other bind is set there by default.
Original binds are in default.cfg file in pak0.pak as so:

bind PAUSE "pause"
bind ESCAPE "togglemenu"
bind ~ "toggleconsole"
bind ` "toggleconsole"
...

Adding bind of "toggleconsole" to F11 key eliminates
need to find tilde key, however try first using a
key with tilde on it with Alt Gr key and then
pressing the space bar to create the character.

That is my best guess with information I have.
Hope it helps.

Karen
