[Mod request] Faster menus

[Kirinyale]

I'm coming back to Witcher 3 after a long break and starting to discover all the UI mods out there. There are lots of great things done already (thanks to community for them), but a few seem to be still missing (or did I miss them?):

 

1) Can opening flash animations (fading, scaling, sliding etc) be disabled for menus? Despite spending 170 hours in game earlier, it's still unbearable for me to wait several seconds every time I want to glance at the full map while exploring. So what I want is basically: I hit M button - the map is open instantly in all its glory. Same might be good for other menus, but the map bothers me the most.

 

2) Disable the "gameplay menu" (or whatever it's called properly) when backing out of a menu via Esc.Seriously: I just opened map, inventory or some other screen via a direct shortcut. Why am I being taken to some useless (for K&M player at least) menu when I hit Esc? I just want to resume playing! And yes, I know that I can do that by hitting the specific screen shortcut again, but my Esc reflex is just too strong. :smile:

 

Eventually, I might even look into doing a mod for this myself if I have to, but I'd still appreciate some help finding where to start (I work in gamedev myself, so no need to overexplain the basics, just some directions to modding these specific aspects of the game, since I'm totally new to Witcher 3 mods).
