You should have a console help, much like the help file of any other program.

-Have an index of comands sorted by category.
Example:
-Crosshair
-Sensitivity
-Appearance
-Visual
-Textures
-Lighting

-Have a description of each comand along with accepted values.
Example: cl_texturedetail
-Changes the detail of textures.
-Accepted Values: 0-10 | 0 being lowest quality, 10 being highest quality
-Be able to search for how to change a setting with a keyword.
Example:
Search: Textures
Results: cl_texturedetail, cl_bumpmap, mat_specular

This might take a lot of time to do, but it would be unbelievably great for at least a final release version.

I was thinking that since this was custom coded, that they would have their own console commands (they do have some). I guess if it's just source engine commands, then google will work.

Come on, don't be lazy, use your brain to use your console. People who need that kind of help should not be tweaking in their console, thats it.

The only thing that could be said about the console it's that it should open if you hit the button below escape, no idea what it's called though. (You can probably bind it, but a std bind can't be that hard is it..)

the command you are looking for is 'find' but it does not work so efficiently like in css.

also you have cvarlist * which shows console commands with description

typing most commands without a parameter/ value shows the help already
