Name Input Plugin

[Treynor]

So I've successfully created an ingame search engine (with help from this forum) where the player can use the Name Input scene to type in a query and get a response. However this brings up one problem: tedium. Part of the puzzle element of my game will be looking things up. Think Wizardry 8. If players are to experiment with different words, I'm certain they don't want to do it by navigating to each individual letter. I've found a plugin made by SRD called Name Input Upgrade which removed the ingame keyboard in favor of your physical one. It works well in all ways except the way I need. My search engine completely ceases to function.

Works like a charm with the regular Name Input scene though. So I'm wondering how easy/difficult it would be to create a plugin that will simply permit the use of the keyboard on the Name Input scene. They virtual keyboard can remain if anyone chose to use when using a controller. I've tried looking and the only one that *I THNK* matched what I'm looking for was for RPGMaker VX and I use MV.

Name Input is specific for NAME input, not really a search.
there is a plugin that are able to allow that without showing the keyboard.

which I use in my project, but the problem for that one, it uses a plugin command or scriptcall.
but if its works for you is a different story.

Also, you need some knowledge for css part but still figure out how to change some things
while it doesn't really take effect somehow.

In what way do you want to use it exacly?

My goal is to create an in-game computer that will allow players to search up terminology they want to know more about. I've done it via using two arrays which get called upon via the Name Input scene which I've jury rigged to look like a search engine. The reason I use name input is because it's the only MV command that allows the input of letters. If there's some other plugin I could use that would allow this input then I'd happily try it.

you can watch this video dont know its language used, and the download link below.
I got it work mostly (while I need a simple think).

You can remove teh buttons below if you like (also tested that) and work smootly.
so you can basicly build a computer frame for example. Adjust the input whereever you want on the screen,
But you MUST know how css works though to make your search part unique.

Im still figure out why some things doesn't work, but when I got that part, I'm gladly to help
you out with it.

In my opion is this one of the nicest and clean way for input (which support all languages)

if you need help with something (or want to use it for a quiz), just ping me or DM me if need.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I downloaded the plugin. I tried to get it to work but it was a total flop. The documentation is very unclear. I think it was run through a translator and pasted on. I couldn't get it working at all. However! I kept searching and found YEP.185 Key Name Entry which does EXACTLY what I want. It enables me to use the keyboard on the name input screen. All that's left is to test it with my 'search engine' and see if it works.
