Personally I never found it awkward to press Space to trigger mk4_HUD but I'm using EDtracker so I can see how it might be tricky whilst also holding Alt for free look.
The only complication was that being tied to the Select All Units key meant it opened the menu, which I then had to close but this is solved by GI having its own keybind.
As for range, 30m does seem quite generous when I picture how far that is but I might revise my opinion after testing it on an op. I don't have any relevant real-world experience, so if there's a consensus that 50m is more realistic I'm happy to accept that. Certainly I can imagine one would be able to identify friendly uniforms quite easily at that distance in clear weather and even recognise close friends/comrades from their physical attributes, their gait, etc.
