Editing game files? Yikes! But if you must, go to 'Documents\My Games\XCOM - Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config' and add `Bindings=(Name="Tilde",Command="showconsole")` to 'DefaultInput.ini'. Press ~ in-game.

Seriously, just don't bother. Manipulating game files can break stuff. Just enjoy the game as it is.
