Steps

  1. Open the console (the key varies by keyboard layout; the original author used the key left of the number row, and on US layouts it is the tilde or backtick key).
  2. Enter setbind <key> showhud, replacing <key> with the button you want. Example: setbind h showhud.
  3. Each time you press that key, the HUD disappears (and appears again).

Tip

Join multiplayer matches as a spectator and take screenshots with the free camera; the author says it is always worth taking a couple of good shots.
