Closed / Re: [SUG][PLAYER] Ability to turn skill shadows on and off

I feel this deserves a separate post: the discussion has brought about what I feel is the best solution to everyone's wishes and concerns, which is this:
Rather than providing the option to permanently disable Skill Shadows, make the F3 menu options thus:
Permanently enabled: Skill Shadows will always function as they do currently, i.e by hovering the cursor over the lemming.
Hotkey-only*: Skill Shadows will only function when hovering the cursor over the lemming and pressing a Hotkey (similar to the Splat Ruler) - if it could also be made so that the Hotkey must be user-assigned, then the player would be less likely to forget about it.
So - to make it clear - there would be no way to turn Skill Shadows OFF, and the Hotkey would function as a hold-to-assign rather than a toggle that can be accidentally pressed.
This would mean that players cannot disable them altogether and then forget about them, and would mean that anyone who'd prefer them to be assignable via Hotkey-only would likely create a Hotkey for them that they'll remember, and then use them whenever they need to.
