// TOGGLE BUTTON (Hides UI but doesn't hide cursor, 
//                demo controls, or neutral item pickups)
bind "'" "toggle_ui"


// TOGGLE BUTTON (Hides UI AND hides cursor, but not
//                demo controls, or neutral item pickups)
bind "/" "toggle_ui2"


// TOGGLE BUTTON (Hides entire HUD and UI including the console 
//                window)
