Thank you for providing detailed information about the updates in version 1.0.0.1 of the Toggle Gear Shift Mode mod for FS25. Let's break down the improvements and features added in this version:

1. **Per-Vehicle-Type Offset for HUD**: This update includes a feature to adjust the lower-right HUD position based on the vehicle type. This ensures that the HUD does not overlap with non-standard vehicles, providing a better user experience and preventing visual clashes on the screen.

2. **Improved Robustness**: The mod now includes safer access to game/spec tables and UI helpers. By enhancing the mod's robustness, developers have reduced the likelihood of runtime errors when using mod vehicles. This improvement focuses on stability and reliability when interacting with the game environment and mod vehicles.

3. **Minor Refactors and Code Cleanup**: While not affecting the toggle input behavior directly, this update includes refactoring and code cleanup. These changes are aimed at improving the mod's codebase, making it more organized, maintainable, and easier to work with for future updates and enhancements.

4. **HUD Visibility Respect**: The HUD now correctly responds to in-game HUD visibility settings. It ensures that the HUD element behaves according to the game's UI visibility state, which prevents the HUD from displaying when the main game UI is hidden. This aligns the mod's visual elements with the game's UI settings for a seamless user experience.

Overall, these updates enhance the user experience, increase stability when using mod vehicles, and improve the mod's overall code quality. Players can expect a smoother gameplay experience with the new features and improvements introduced in version 1.0.0.1 of the Toggle Gear Shift Mode mod for FS25.
