The Console

The console allows you to enter commands to the Source engine while testing a map or mod. In order to use it, click the Advanced button of the Keyboard tab in the game options and check the option for turning on the console. Then click Apply. Henceforth, the console can be opened or closed with the top left key below Escape, typically labelled ~ on a US keyboard.

Enter commands by typing in the box at the bottom. Typing help will provide some instructions.

Type find <substring> to look for console commands related to a specific topic (i.e. typing find npc would show a listing of NPC Debugging Commands such as npc_go and npc_create.

See Developer Console for detailed instructions in using the console.
