Rename Country Leaders (with keyboard!)

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO RENAME NATIONS USING THIS TECHNIQUE. RENAMING CITIES IS TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR AN USER FRIENDLY IMPLEMENTATION, THEREFORE I WILL NOT DO IT.

Also check out my other Rename (with keyboard) mods:

Rename your current country leader to whatever name you want, with your keyboard.

Just click on the Rename Country Leader button near top left in the Politics tab (click on your flag in the corner).

Support for English, Russian (thanks to DRAFT) Polish and German keyboards is included. More keyboard languages to come.

Couple notes:
- Renaming leaders may cause script issues, as some events/focuses/decisions etc. check for exact leader name. Use with caution, do not report game/mod bugs after renaming any leader!
- There is no way to reset the leader name to the original one!
- Required version 1.9.1 or higher (in open beta as of now, WILL NOT WORK WITH JUST 1.9).
- Works with any mod.
- This is a real leader rename (using set_country_leader_name effect), there are no smoke and mirrors involved.
- In order for the country leader name to update in the Politics Tab, exit and reenter it.
- No vanilla files are overwritten.
- The mod can be added and removed at any point.
- Renames persist through save games, and work in multiplayer (any player can rename their leaders).
- You can type up to 32 characters.
- You can delete typed characters with Backspace.
- Some special characters are supported (exclamation marks, question marks, commas, etc.).
- If you are running the game in English, characters from other languages may not display correctly. That is due to how fonts work in HoI4.

It's not fully tested, so let me know if you notice any bugs.

Requires 1.9.1 or newer to work.

Is not Ironman compatible, and it is impossible to make it so.
