Feature: A quick option to disable the loading screens. #1470

Which component should be improved?

UI/UX

Describe your suggestion

I think there should be an option (maybe in the settings or a console command), to disable the custom loading screens between each map as they get really repetitive for people who have played the game 1000 times before (like me lol) and just want to play through the game quickly. The SAR plugin for standard Portal 2 has a console command which does this so I think it should work similary to that. There are already a combination of console commands inside the game which do this (that's how it is achieved with the SAR plugin) but I think there should be one one/off switch for those who either don't know it exists or don't want to use the console, and it would just be much more convenient as it would be saved after each time you play the game and it doesn't have to be re-enabled every time (I know autoexec.cfg exists but still lol). I have little to no experience in game development, but I don't think it would be too difficult to add as it is just changing some values in the console, and adding a new option in the settings (which I think would probs be easier when the panorama ui is properly released).
