You can select a target by clicking on an item, NPC or object with your cursor whilst the console is open.
A target is an item, NPC or object in the game that a command applies its effect to. Some commands in Skyrim require a target - in our list, these are labelled with a Target Command badge. For more help opening and using the console, see our Skyrim console guide. To send commands, simply type them into the console and hit ENTER. To open the console in Skyrim, press the ` key (grave) or ~ key (tilde).
