📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD HAS BEEN ABANDONED!
I no longer play RDR2. So if someone else wants to take over, feel free. My permissions allow for transformative copying. No need to even ask first, just go for it.
Decided to release this as it's own mod. Figured some people would like it without all of the Black Friday Speed Looting bits. That being said...
If you have Just Get The Loot Already! installed, you do NOT need this mod! It's already included! ;)
Known Issues:
- []Some prompt behaviors have changed, such as hitching your horse while still being mounted. The prompt will appear to act as a regular press, when you really need to hold it still. This is due to other hidden prompts taking priority. In this case the hidden dismount prompt being instant now forces your guy to just jump off the horse and ignore the hitch command.

[]I did switch a handful of prompts over to the MEDIUM defaults though. Which are still instant. Namely the one's used for carrying/hogtying/stowing/etc.

[]What this basically means is that even though prompts are still holds, they fill up a whole lot faster now. I'm talking 0-100 mode here.
-
[]This also affects every scripted prompt in the game. Including Cooking & Crafting and all of the other obscure, scripted prompts!
[]TIP: Wait until the crafting prompt slows down before holding the assigned button. It'll save you an extra 1-2secs. (It's the best I can do here.)
[]Now have fun feeding Arthur and John some raw chicken! Yum!
[]1899 Firearms users: Your compatibility patch has also been updated!
[]Immersive Scenarios users: No patch update for you. You can use the old one still!
Changes in v1. 2:
[]Added 59 more non-scripted prompts and converted them to regular buttons.
[]These are mainly Exit, Leave and Quit prompts. But a few other random ones too.
[]Bringing the grand total of hold pr
