This page deals with commands used in the console. For the modding term, see commands.

This page lists the codes which may be input into the Console Window, a special debugging window which may be accessed on non-ironman games by pressing ⇧Shift+2, Alt+2+1, ⇧Shift+3,§, ~, ^, °, ², or ` (key varies based on keyboard layout). Press the up or down arrow keys to traverse through previously executed commands. Press ⇆Tab after entering the beginning of a command to autocomplete it or display which commands start with the entered sequence. Many codes can be turned off by repeating the command, but sometimes reloading the save or exiting the game is necessary. Adding a | and a filename to the end of a console commands, writes the output of the command to the specified file in the game installation folder.
