How to:

Windows + R
Navigate to:
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\Quake\kexengine.cfg
Copy and paste the following code with your own keybind alteration:
bind f4 "css_toggle" alias css_toggle "css_toggle_off" alias css_toggle_on "alias css_toggle css_toggle_off;cl_hud 1;cl_skipcrosshair 0;r_drawviewmodel 1" alias css_toggle_off "alias css_toggle css_toggle_on;cl_hud 0;cl_skipcrosshair 1;r_drawviewmodel 0"
Save
Press F4 (or whatever keybind you chose) in-game to turn on and off all hud elements. You can even bind it to the same key as your Steam screenshot key and use the wait command as a timer.
Example:
alias css_toggle "cl_hud 0;cl_skipcrosshair 1;r_drawviewmodel 0;wait;wait;wait;cl_hud 1;cl_skipcrosshair 0;r_drawviewmodel 1"

Is this still supposed to work? Because I can't get it to work for the life of me.

Seems the cvar was changed from crosshair to cl_skipcrosshair. I've fixed it.

@Serial Humanist: It's not?

crosshair still there ;D

Yep, cl_drawhud is a cheat command for some weird reason... Not like it gives any advantage, more of the opposite

@cakedon: Thanks. Indeed it does. However some GoldSrc/Source games class these commands as cheats. Shouldn't have any issues with most single player GoldSrc games though.

This is actually pretty cool :D really easy way to make cool screenshots, i think this should also work on source games like half life and counter strike
