Minimize

it minimizes HUD tooltips while instanced.
**Stop fumbling with menus when it matters most.**

Ever accidentally right-clicked your portrait mid-pull and watched that context menu cover your screen? Or hovered over a player in a packed arena and got a tooltip you never asked for? Minimize kills both problems the moment you step into instanced content.

---

## What It Does

### HUD Tooltip Suppression

When you're inside an instance, Minimize automatically hides the HUD Tooltip — the floating nameplate-style tooltip that appears when you mouseover units in the 3D world. No more names and health bars stalking your cursor during boss fights, trash packs, or arena skirmishes. Minimap tooltips, spell tooltips, and item tooltips are **not** affected. Only the in-world unit mouseover tooltip is suppressed.

### Right-Click Portrait Menu Blocking

That dropdown menu that appears when you right-click a player portrait — Target Marker, Set Focus, Dungeon Difficulty, Leave Instance Group — is completely blocked on **friendly unit frames** while you're instanced. No more accidentally opening menus on yourself, your party, or your raid frames when you're trying to click fast.

**Enemy frames are never blocked.** You keep full right-click functionality on hostile targets, boss frames, and arena enemies at all times.

---

## Where It Works

- **Dungeons and Mythic+** — no stray menus mid-key
- **Raids** — clean frames across your entire roster
- **Arenas** — zero accidental clicks on your own team
- **Battlegrounds** — stay focused on the objective
- **Delves** — full coverage even though Blizzard's `IsInInstance()` often misses them

Outside of instanced content, everything behaves completely normally.

---

## Smart Friendly-Only Blocking

Minimize distinguishes between friendly and hostile units in real time:

- **Always blocked in instances:** Your portrait, party frames, raid frames
- **Blocked only when friendly:** Target frame, Focus frame (if you target an enemy, right-click works)
- **Never blocked:** Boss frames, arena enemy frames

This means you never lose the ability to interact with enemies. If you need to right-click a hostile target for any reason, it just works.

## Commands

All features are controlled through `/min`. The legacy `/drc` command still works and redirects to the right-click subsystem.
