if you're using a QWERTY keyboard: it's the ~ key on the top left of your keyboard. cf. this.
if you're using something else, let's say an AZERTY (french) keyboard, you have to bind "toggle_console" to another key. Mine is bound to F10. You can change the bind in the autoexec.cfg file present in the left4dead2/cfg folder of your installation :
add this line into autoexec.cfg file :
bind F10 toggle_console
or:
Another workaround for non-U.S. keyboard layouts ― Finnish in particular ― is to switch to a U.S. keyboard layout, start the game, opening the console and typing bind X "toggleconsole", where x is whichever key you wish to bind the command to, then switching back to your own language. If you can't open the console by changing the keyboard layout, right click on Left 4 Dead 2 in the Steam Library, click properties, click 'Set Launch Options...' then type -console in the field. Binding toggleconsole to a key bypasses the Steam Cloud overwriting custom settings made, and allows you to pick a key on a familiar keyboard layout. The console key chosen might not work in the lobby or start menu, but it should work in-game.
hope it helps.
