How do I target an NPC when using console commands?

I am trying to use the OpenActorContainer 1 console command. Most of the threads I've seen say to "click" or "highlight" the NPC whose inventory you wish to access. However, when I click on them, the only thing my character does is draw his weapon.

How do I select an NPC?

You have to click on them while the console is open. Then type the command and press Enter.

Open the console commands ~ then you click on the NPC/object type in command for example tgm click enter then command will be executed.
