OVERVIEW
There are couple of great coalesced tweaks mods but they can’t be used all together so I make this mod to have it all without compromises. It have most ideas from other coalesced tweaks + some tuning for improvements. In short this mod is: mouse smoothing and acceleration off, infinite sprint, 10x time speed button, corpses physics, decals staying, SpaceBar and Escape button skips dialogues without selecting response.

REALESES:
-Version 1.11:
-Change in Hide HUD button. PageUp still hide HUD but now not hide interface elements and dialogues. So it not hide interface if you go into terminal menu while hud is off. 
-MiddleMouseButton version was working fine but from technical perspective it was somewhat flawed as it lacks Module number - now mod is correct from technical perspective (it was my first DLC mod ). 
-Version 1.1:
-mod now in DLC form so it is compatible with Unofficial LE2 Patch
Some things what was in version 1.0 have been removed:
-removed separate buttons for use, cover, sprint. If you want separate buttons - download also Omni-Key Separator and install version for LE2. This great mod allows bind any buttons from menu for Use, Sprint, Cover. Vault = Move_forward + Cover (while in cover ).
-removed auto-cover off. If you want disable auto-cover - download also LE2 Auto Cover Off
-removed crouching. If you want crouch - download also Crouching mod (toggle or hold version and many key options to choose )
Also there are some small adjustments (mostly cosmetic stuff ):
-changed sprint values to the same values what are default in Mass Effect 3. Practically this not change anything as Shepard can sprint at least for some minutes before get tired (in game rather there are no situations that you will sprint for some minutes without stopping ).

CHANGES WHAT THAT MOD MAKES:
-Disabled mouse acceleration and smoothing.
-Unlimited sprint in and out of combat. At default Shepard was tired after 20 meters or something like that (not much realistic for heavy trained/enhanced person ). The values what I used are the ones from LE3 so it isn't literally unlimited sprint but at least you can sprint some minutes before get tired.
-Spacebar not anymore selecting dialogue option (no more accidental clicking response ).
-Added Escape hotkey to skip dialogues also without selecting response.
-Corpses have enabled physics (they reacts to gunfire ). This is working on enemies killed by you and your squadmates.
-Decals staying for increased time (changed to >2 hours instead of default 15seconds ). This not works for all effects like bullet holes in walls (but works for bullet holes in glass ) and decals disappear after loading save. Also it may not work in some DLCs (decals disappear there after default 15 seconds ).
-Added speed up time button (you can choose LeftAlt or MiddleMouseButton ): holding it speeds up the game x10 (good for skipping unskippable cinematics or when you must watch them again after death/reload and also it can be used to move faster at boring moments ). 
This can possibly have minor bug: If you don’t stop holding that button before cinematics ends sometimes game can stay at 10x – just click that button again and time will be normal again. 
-button End = freeze/unfreeze game (debug ). This is not normal pause. What this does exactly is halts engine simulation. If game inputs froze (what I heard in unmodded game such bug sometimes occurs and some mods can induce it more often ) this button can helps. 
-button PageDown = screenshot. Will be stored in: x(windows partition):\Users\<user_name>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\ScreenShots 
-button PageUp = hide/unhide HUD.
-button Home = it execute console command from file named root.txt in where your game is installed in: Game\ME2\Binaries folder - so make such notepad file and add there any command what you like. For example you can add: Slomo 0.5   - this will make slow motion at 50% (to deactivate this click 10x time button ). You can choose exactly value what you want so for example Slomo 0.3 = 30% of real time. Or if you want more credits add to that file: AdjustCredits +100000 (or other value and you get such value of credits per clicking button ).
-Walking button now works as toggle (the same like is default in LE1 ) so just click it instead of holding it. 
-no auto swap weapon when ammo empty

INSTALLATION
1. Download preferred version (LeftAlt Or MiddleMouseButton for 10xTimeButton or version for Controller ). 
2. To install use ME3Tweaks Manager.

This mod works only with Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition (LE2). 

Compatible with probably all mods (from obvious reasons shouldn't be used with mods what changing the same functions ).

Should work with saves so starting new game is not needed.

LE1 version is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1284
LE3 version is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1321
Versions for original trilogy:
ME2 version is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect2/mods/414

Golden rule of Mass Effect modding:
-backup your Mass Effect game in ME3Tweaks (Backup & Restore -> Backup ) 
-install content mods first
-install textures mods after content mods
-if you have any texture mod already installed and you want install content mod - you must first restore game to default. To do that use ME3Tweaks (Backup & Restore -> Restore )
exceptions: Coalesced mods can be installed anytime (before or after any content or textures mods ).
Also always check "installation" section in mod description because some mods must be installed before other mods. ALOT should be installed before other textures mods (ALOT is big package of textures so we want other mods overwrite ALOT and not otherwise ).

ADDITIONAL INFO:
I want say one more thing, this mod is not for changing mechanics of game but making it more convenience (mouse acceleration and smoothing off, infinite sprint, time 10x to not be forced to watch the same cutscene over again after death&reload, skipping dialogues without accidentally select conversation option) and immersive (corpses physics ).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS / CREDITS
Kudos for all folks who first find and share what commands and values in Coalesced files do specific things.
Honorable mentions: spieslikeus for sharing in post what command is for enabling/disabling corpses reacting to gunfire. 

I want thanks mostly to these amazing mods and their great authors. That inspire me to make my mod with all things I wanted in game.

FAQ:
-Why new key bindings from mod not works?
-You must have one or more of them already set as some other actions in Main Menu->Extras->Options->Key Bindings. Just change those to another keys. Then keys from mod will be working as intended.

-Should "mouse dampening" in game menu should be on or off ?
-Mod turn off acceleration in config files but also it is best to turn dampening off in game menu.

-Is it possible to remove screen shaking when sprinting?
-Just install this great mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/329
