you can bind a key to 'devcommands'

open console: bind<space><your key><space>devcommands<enter>

you only have to do this once

start game; tap key;F5; console is ready to go

(didn't have that quite right if you tried it; just 'bind' not bind key

you can type 'help 1' and get the first group of console commands...
'help 2' etc. they added a bunch of emotes
