We will be adding a track wetness indicator to the front end so you don't have to use the console to see this information. The character that opens the console is actually the "backtick" ( ` ), not the "logical negation symbol" ( ¬ ). Open up any text editor and try to type a `. If you can produce that in a text editor, it will work in the viewer. See this for more suggestions: http://superuser.com/questions/254076/how-do-i-type-the-tick-and-backtick-characters-on-windows#254077
Matt, I'm in the same situation as you: Belgian keyboard, the 'backtick' doesn't seem to 'register'. I don't know how this works on other layouts, but if we want to type a `-character, we have to type another letter (or space) after it or it doesn't put the character. This is due to the fact that normally we use the backtick on other letters like è or à.
So that is most likely the reason this doesn't work for us...
