"Better" NameInput (+ Deleting Letters )

Better NameInput

Description

Hi, this is my first Script I release here.
My friends kept asking, how they delete letters in the Name Input Window, because "Esc" or "Num 0" isn't really intuitive,
I changed the Window so there is now a "«" symbol to remove other letters.
I had to remove some other symbols, because there was no more space.
Feel free to add again some special characters you wish for into free slots.

Features

• Deleting letters in the Name Input is more intuitive now

This Scripts was so easy to make, you do not need to credit me in the Game.
If you improve this Script - a credit would be nice.

You can give me Feedback if you want

Would it be possible to add more pages?

[lpz_Nq]

It should, I think. You can edit it if you want.

I'm new to scripting so bear with me, but how to you trigger the naming window to come up in the first place?  The only option in the events window is to manually rename the character yourself, and I've no idea how to event in a script call

[DoctorTodd]

Use "Name Input Processing" on the third page of the event menu.
