press ^ and so the console opens up. Type in:
con_restricted 0
r_DisplayInfo 1
There comes a point where the talking must stop, and people have to do actual work.

It can show you alot of fancy error messages when you start a game.
Dunno if those error messages cause anything though.

um, idk about a list, but what do you want to do with the console beyond see your frames or change your name?  there are a bunch of console commands you'd never use, honestly I rarely use any beyond the name change (back before I had profiles setup properly, and goofing off) and r_displayinfo.  so if there's something specific, I think server commands are listed somewhere, I dunno if any other command with help you really at all.

"name (your name)" is how you change your name in console

Yes, when you posted that the thougth ocurred to me that there could be something about those errors that could be causing the CTDs.

Those errors don't have anything to do with the crashes (at least that's what I was told).

Useful console command: cl_hud = 1,0
1 is on, 0 is off.

Opening Console works fine.
just sorry, but showing FPS didn't work .

You tried literally every command but the right one: r_displayinfo = 1,0
or, if console is unlocked: r_displayinfo 1,0

Tab completion. Try it!

DumpCommandsVars
Dumps all console variables and commands to disk.

But Tab does the trick anyway, you just need 26 letters and a little patience.

Can I modify actionmaps within game using the console.  Can I set graphic settings lock a frame rate, modify sound settings, etc, etc?

You cant modify actionmaps with the console.
You may be able to change sound settings, but you can do that from the options menu as well.
Not sure if you can lock the frame rate.
