I Fully Understand that I May Not Be Using the Correct Term
Someone enlighten me, please.

Merov: Some elements of the description are unclear (how do you "Suppress the UI" for instance). In any case, the proper way to get an animation to play without having to click a button is to create a Gesture for that animation and associate it to a shortcut key. If this is not adequate for your usage, please log a feature request and describe in details the needs/requirement and, possibly, a proposed user interface model.

Os: I learned to refer to what happens when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 as suppressing the UI here in SL years ago, and I don't know what else to call it. 'Derender the ui'? It isn't hiding it as it did formerly when we could still use it even though it was not visible.
As you may or may not know gestures haven't worked reliably for years. Specifically, setting gestures inactive/changing gestures is unreliable. I use lots of gestures for repeating tasks, however the number of buttons is limited and it's frustrating when one isn't able to change their assigned tasks quickly, or conversely open and play animations on the fly as we were wont to do in former carefree times.

Enjah and Salazar: That's why you kept hearing a zombie groan. I remapped three buttons to cameras 1, 2, 3, and the '1' camera would play its former (inactivated) gesture task about 75% of the time.

ALSO
Most animations do not have permissions that allow them to be used in a gesture. I make a lot, but not all that I wish to use.

Comments:

I am filled with admiration for you; though why you bother to speak to someone who has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what you are talking about mystifies me. Whoever Merov is, they have never suppressed the UI in their life, and would not know how to use SL with it suppressed, if they did do it.

You, Intrepid Adventurer Artist, know more than the bozos they have hired to replace the great people they used to have in their employ.

You are kind, however I don't know as much as I should, I'm sure. I don't mind being set straight, really I don't. I have trouble doing more than throwing my hands up in exasperation now as V2 doesn't *at all* work for machinima.

I *believe* Merov is the French Linden who prior to lindenification worked on that interface device several years ago with Mitch Kapor - remember this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t52gkAwJq8

I thought that was my stomach growling. (It’s all about me.)

Maybe if you flipped Merov a hand gesture he would better kinect with your reasoning.
