Optical

Optical v0.1.0 for 26.1.x 🎉👏

• Reorganized some config options again, notably readding the dedicated Freelook config tab.
• Added configurable action bar messages for Freecam, Freelook, Detached Camera, and Gamma. Action bar state messages are styled with green for Enabled and red for Disabled.
• Renamed and rebound some keybinds, and added keybind visibility filtering so disabled modules hide their related keybinds which I think is pretty cool
