@deviantfiend999 I've changed my approach to the patch to restore the hide interface functionality and also created another one to add a toggle quick menu function to the 'Q' key. This time they're both self-sufficient so they'll work independently as long they're inside the "/game" folder and should be compatible with all Ren'Py games.
- "_enable_hide_interface.rpy" adds a new set of functions to hide the interface using the same keys ('H' and 'Middle Mouse Button').
- "_toggle_quick_menu.rpy" adds a new function to show or hide the quick menu using the 'Q' key (the game may be scripted to hide it at checkpoints but this will bring it back).
- "_restore_quick_menu.rpy" is a more experimental patch that contains the generic code for the quick menu for some games where the dev completely deletes the code from the screens.rpy. Since there's nothing to toggle, 'Q' won't do anything. This fixed it on the games I tested but it should only be used when the toggle isn't working to avoid conflicts with custom quick menus.
As long as a dev doesn't target these patches directly they should work without problems and, since no game files are replaced, you can remove the patches if for some unforeseen reason they don't. Enjoy
