Just a PSA in case anyone else spends two days trying to get the Console working

I'm a developer by trade so I was really exasperated that I couldn't get CLUAConsole working in the EE edition of the game, I tried to modify the config files every which way and I checked the spacing etc. bit by bit to make sure it looked right, but none of it would help. I thought maybe SCS or Steam was interfering with it but the changes were sticking around.
Turns out I have multiple languages installed for my Windows OS, and CTRL+Space was the default hotkey to switch languages so the OS was capturing the command rather than letting it pass through to the game. So, if anyone else has trouble getting the console to work even after adding the debug 1 or cheats 1 statements, make sure you check to make sure that CTRL+Space doesn't already do something else on your system that takes priority.
