How to use Dev console in new versions?
Shift + D won't work

It should still work - do you have a screen that takes the letter D key as keysym? That would interfere with the console. Also check whether you've overwritten the config.developer variable:

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/config.h ... .developer

Wait...I need to change something in options.rpy?

No you shouldn't have to - but if you've overwritten that variable, then you need to fix it.

The other possibility is that you have a screen that grabs the 'd' key and so you can't trigger the console with Shift-D. If that's the case you need to change it to another key. That's why I avoid keysym like d and h in my game.

Ehm...how to change to another key? Sorry but I'm a still big noob in renpy.

Mmmm, maybe do you have capslock on?

Can you start a new project and see if you have the same problem?

Basically to reiterate - Developer's Console should just work by default, unless you've done something that stops it from working, and I was trying to find out whether you've got either of the scenarios I know of that could stop the Shift-D key from working, but if you don't know them then I assume you haven't changed them, unless you've been using someone else's code.

A fresh project should eliminate both of those scenarios, so if your problem persists then it'll be something weird going on with your Renpy install.

Re: Capslock, Renpy seems ignores capslock for dev console as I'm able to get it to work with or without capslock on, which is pretty interesting!

Yeah I think that behaviour must have changed at some point, I remember having some weirdness with it which was why I always 'K_x' for my keys, maybe it's changed to make it easier for everyone!

Thanks everone for help! Problem is solved.

Solution was pretty simple - change keyboard layout
