Id like to suggest a new setting you could toggle on in the main settings which would
Automatically hide the hud when you emote.
It's annoying to have to go and turn off the hud when you're trying to get a quick picture - and you don't really need your hud if you're actively emoting.
Since it's a setting you don't have to have it on if your concerned about its affect on tucking.
It would be a really nice qol imo.
