List of useful console/launch commands in Dota 2

[meruna]

I would love to try these, my problem is that I have a german keyboard and I can't open the console with `or ^. Is there any possiblity to set the "open console" hot key to another key?

List of console and launch commands anyone? Throw any useful ones you know (and what they do) in this thread and I'll add them. I only know a few so would but nice to know other out there.

Launch Options
To open, right click Dota 2 on your Steam library, click Properties, and click Set Launch Options. There must be a space after each option (ex. -novid -console)

-novid Skips valve intro video
-console Enables consoles in game (hotkey is `)
-windowed -w # -h # -noborder Window mode with no border, REPLACE # WITH YOUR DESIRED W AND H


Console
Enabled via Launch Options. Default key is `.

net_graph 1 Displays network information such as fps and ping.
dota_camera_accelerate 49 This will make the camera stop exactly where you want it, 0 will make you unable to move your camera. Thanks uw_NB and Pyros.
dota_force_right_click_attack 1 This will enable right click deny.

When you set the -console commandline option and start the game, the console should open automatically, then you can re-bind the console to some other key with "bind KEY toggleconsole"

If the console doesn't open at all, I think you messed up the -console line in the launch options. If you're sure you did it right, you could also try this: go to Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/cfg/ and open config.cfg and write at the bottom of the file:
con_enable "1"
bind "KEY" "toggleconsole"
and then restart the game.

Gah... I used to play HoN with a right click deny, it stopped working and I thought shit better get used to A clicking for dota 2 anyways.
