Interaction & Features

✅ Direct Letter Input (X Key)

• Type letters directly from a visual selection grid (LetterData), supporting both lowercase and uppercase letters.

• Dynamic handling ensures letters appear immediately where the cursor is positioned.

✅ Grid Navigation

• Navigate the letter grid circularly, moving left/right/up/down seamlessly.

• Grid is dynamic: developers can configure the number of columns, rows, and spacing between letters.

• Supports fast, intuitive navigation using keyboard, D-Pad, or gamepad controls.

• Circular movement ensures the cursor wraps around the edges, just like classic RPGs.

✅ Space (A Key) & Delete (Z Key)

• Insert spaces seamlessly at the cursor’s position.

• Remove characters accurately while updating the cursor position and display.

✅ Restore Default Name (S Key)

• Instantly restore a predefined default name (e.g., "FIGHTER").

• Cursor automatically moves to the end of the default name for easy editing.

✅ Uppercase / Lowercase Toggle 

• Switch all letters to lowercase or uppercase instantly.

• Letters dynamically update both LetterSlot objects and InputPlayer_Name variable.

• Visual distinction between lowercase (more transparent) and uppercase (full opacity).

✅ Dynamic Cursor & Real-Time Display

• Cursor blinks and tracks the current typing position precisely.

• Optional temporary text object (TempText) ensures alignment with the main text.

• Smooth, responsive visual experience reminiscent of classic RPGs.
