FS25 Enhanced Help Menu V1.0

Replaces the built-in F1 help menu with a smarter, always-visible overlay that shows every active input action and its key binding, not just the handful the game chooses to highlight.
The list updates as your context changes: on foot, in a vehicle, near interactive objects, or using attachments. New actions get a subtle green accent bar and slide to the top of the list so you notice them straight away.
Features:
– Lists every active action across all connected input devices
– Real key bindings with proper formatting (keyboard, mouse, joystick, gamepad)
– New-action highlighting: smooth fade-in with green accent bar, auto-sorted to top
– Long bindings wrap to a second line automatically, so nothing hides behind an ellipsis
– Category filter (Camera, Vehicle, Driving, Lights, etc.) to narrow the list
– Hide individual rows you’ve memorized. Open filter mode and click a hidden row to bring it back
– Filter mode softly blurs the game world behind the panel for cleaner focus
– Cycle device filter to see bindings for a specific controller
– Pagination for long action lists
– Settings (filters, hidden rows, display state) persist between sessions
Controls (all remappable in the Controls menu):
F1 : Cycle display (overlay only / F1 only / both hidden)
F4 : Open or close filter (click categories to filter the list, click rows to hide them)
F6 : Previous page
F7 : Next page
F10 : Cycle device filter

This mod for FS25 sounds like a significant enhancement to the in-game help system. Replacing the built-in F1 help menu with a dynamic and always-visible overlay provides players with immediate access to a comprehensive list of active input actions and their key bindings. The ability to see all connected input devices and their respective actions in real-time, with proper key binding formatting for various input methods (keyboard, mouse, joystick, gamepad), ensures a more informative and user-friendly experience.

The feature of highlighting new actions with a green accent bar and sorting them to the top of the list is a great usability improvement, allowing players to quickly identify and learn about recent key bindings. Additionally, the automatic wrapping of long key bindings to a second line prevents important information from being truncated, avoiding confusion for users.

The inclusion of category filters to narrow down the list of actions based on specific contexts (Camera, Vehicle, Driving, Lights, etc.), along with the ability to hide individual rows that have been memorized, adds flexibility and customization to the help menu. The use of a filter mode that subtly blurs the game world behind the panel helps maintain focus on the displayed information.

The support for cycling device filters to view bindings for a specific controller, pagination for lengthy action lists, and persistent settings for filters, hidden rows, and display state between sessions further enhance the overall user experience. The inclusion of remappable controls for interacting with the new help menu features in the game's Controls menu also allows players to tailor the experience to their preferences.

Overall, the Enhanced Help Menu V1.0 for FS25 appears to be a well-thought-out and feature-rich mod that significantly improves the accessibility and usability of the in-game help system, offering players a more interactive and informative way to learn and interact with the game's controls and mechanics.
