I saw your explanation of the intended usage in the other thread. Have you attempted to use this mod with the space elevator at all? I can't figure out how to have the diverter target the "Nauvis (up)" rich text station name that the space elevator automatically creates for itself.

Perhaps a station picker GUI would be better than a simple text box.

For anyone having a similar problem to mine... If you open up the SE code you can find the exact characters Earendel used to name the elevator station, and copy/paste those into the diverter text box. Mostly. The rich text icon for the elevator is NOT the same as the one you can select in the menus, so you have to enter the right one manually.

[img=entity/se-space-elevator] Nauvis ↓
[img=entity/se-space-elevator] Nauvis ↑

Also notice that there should be 2 spaces before "Nauvis" and only 1 after (but the post formatting automatically removes the double space). Truly rage-inducing. Luckily, once you do this on one diverter you can just shift-click to copy it to the rest of them.

I have, yes. I solve the issue by opening any arbitrary train station, clicking the Rename button, finding the elevator station in the list of existing names, and then copy/pasting that.

You are right that's a needless total pain, but I don't think adding a station name picker for this purpose would be an improvement.
