You don't have to type anything in the launch options in Steam. Do you have Ironman mode enabled? If so then you can't use console commands.

Console should still open even in ironman mode.

OP what keyboard layout are you using? On my german layout it's the '^' key (upper left below esc), in CK2 it's '§' for me (shift + 3 on german keyboard).
Make sure you don't have caps on. Also note that some of the keys in the link are combinations.

Ironman is disabled.

French Canadian keyboard. I tried every single key & combination on the keyboard and none of them opened the console.

Would it help if I used the French language in Stellaris instead of English?

Ok it seems the French Canadian keyboard does NOT have the key required to open the console.

I added the English US keyboard with a shortcut to switch to while in-game (CTRL+SHIFT+2), and now the console works.

I suspect many Quebecers will get this issue (if not already). Maybe the wiki should mention that some keyboard languages are not able to open the console.
