Advanced Menu Positioning

Lets you move menus around the screen, detach the active menu so it stays persistent, and open multiple menus at once.
This mod is experimental and probably has unexpected (but potentially still delightful!) consequences when paired with other UI mods.

To move the active menu, hold down the move mod key (default Left Shift), hover over the active menu and hold down the move key (default Mouse Left) while dragging the menu.

To "detach" a menu, making it persistent, hold down the detach mod key (default Left Shift), hover over the active menu and press the detach key (default X). To reattach a menu, do the same to a detached menu when there is no active menu.

To close a detached menu, hold down the close mod key (default Left Shift), hover over the menu and press the close key (default Z).




You can let me know if it doesn't work right with some custom UI mod, but I doubt I can fix custom UI elements not moving with the default ones. It's more likely that custom UI mods can make themselves compatible with this menu by updating elements' positions based on the menu's position rather than expecting the menu to be stationary.

I've added compatibility with Chests Anywhere.
