First Person / HUD mode problems on PC

The First Person mode, on PC (toggled on/off by pressing 'b') is fun but has some usability problems.
I'm not sure what changes were done on the Console - but playing the game on XBoxOne is a better experience.
On PC the secondary interaction menu requires mouse input. This means that you cannot remain in HUD / First Person mode and do simple actions as, on PC, beaming up, using turbo lifts etc are all secondary interactions.
To make the First Person mode playable on PC
* Add an option to automatically close all UI panels so the mouse controls direction properly when the direction keys are pressed.
and/or
* Add a key binding that, while held - allows the mouse cursor to be used to perform interactions. Ideally, instead of the above option if this keybinding is used and First Person mode is active, bringing up any UIs will not activate the cursor - that would remain at the players discretion.
