This keyboard layout is designed for Polytonic Greek, the standard writing system of the Greek language (Ancient and Modern) before 1976.
This keyboard has a fixed positional layout. That means that the arrangement of the letters in this layout is fixed - it will not change depending on the order of keys on your actual keyboard.
This keyboard mimics the modern Greek layout. It uses standard Unicode fonts.

This keyboard mimics the modern Greek layout. Most Greek letters are in the same place as the equivalent English letters on an English (QWERTY) keyboard. For example, type <^vm'ega to get ὧμέγα.
As you can see, accents and breathing marks are typed before the vowel. They can be typed in any order. For example, ΰ is typed :'y or ':y.
When you type an accent or breathing mark followed by a space, you will get a standard keystroke instead of an accent. For example, typing / will give you / not ¯.
Though the basic accented letters in this keyboard are precomposed, it is possible to type with combining diacritics. To type with combining diacritics, type a letter first and then type an accent using AltGr or Ctrl+Alt. For example, to get ϊ with combining diacritics, type i[CA:.
The Greek Polytonic Unicode keyboard adds polytonic accents to a modern Greek layout. Most Greek letters are in the same place as the equivalent English letters on an English (QWERTY) keyboard.
Example: typing r produces ρ.
Example: typing m produces μ.
Some characters are in a different place and may need to be memorized.
Example: typing c produces ψ.
Example: typing u produces θ.
Final sigma (ς) is not automatic. It must be typed as an independent letter.
Example: typing w produces ς.
Example: typing shw produces σης.
Capital letters are typed using shift, as in English.
Example: typing [Sd] produces Δ.
Example: typing [Sv] produces Ω.
The keyboard also includes a selection of archaic Greek and Coptic letters, e.g. digamma (ϝ). These can be typed with AltGr or Ctrl+Alt combinations.
Example: typing [Aw] produces ϝ.
Example: typing [SAq] produces Ϙ.
The Greek Polytonic Unicode keyboard uses two different systems to handle accented characters:
Precomposed Letters
All of the basic accented characters can be typed with precomposed letters. Precomposed letters look like an accent+vowel, but they are actually a single symbol. When you delete a precomposed letter, you delete the entire letter, not just the accent.
Use the following keystrokes to type diacritics for precomposed letters.
| Diacritics for Precomposed Letters | |||
| Character | Keystroke | English Name | Greek Name |
| ῾ | < | rough breathing | dasia |
| ᾿ | > | smooth breathing | psili |
| ι | [CAi | iota subscript | ypogegrammeni/ prosgegrammeni |
| ¨ | : | diaeresis | dialytika |
| ` | ` | grave accent | varia |
| ´ | ' | acute accent (Classical Greek) | oxia |
| ΄ | ; | acute accent (Modern Greek) | tonos |
| ῀ | ^or ~ | circumflex accent | perispomeni |
| ̆ | ? | breve accent | vrachy |
| ¯ | / | macron | macron |
All precomposed letters are typed with accents first (before the letter). Accents can be typed in any order, except iota subscript, which must come last. Iota subscript can be typed with AltGr or Ctrl+Alt.
Example: typing :'y or ':y produces ΰ.
Example: typing ~>[CAi]a or ^>[CAi]a or >~[CAi]a or >^[CAi]a produces ᾆ.
Vowels and the letter rho (ρ Batchoutput pdf 2 2 29 download free. ) can be typed as precomposed letters.
Example: typing `h produces ὴ.
Example: typing <R produces Ῥ.
Some combinations are not possible with precomposed letters, usually becuase they do not exist in Greek.
Example: you cannot type capital rho with smooth breathing.
Example: you cannot type capital omega with circumflex.
Combining Diacritics
Use of combining diacritics is not recommended. They make searching documents harder, and most fonts display Greek combining diacritics badly.
Accented characters can also be typed with combining diacritics. However, this keyboard includes an underdot which can only be typed using combing diacritics.
These vowel+accent combinations do not form a single symbol. When you delete a letter with a combining diacritical mark, you delete the diacritic first and then the letter.
Use the following keystrokes to type combining diacritics.
| Combining Diacritics | |||
| Character | Keystroke | English Name | Greek Name |
| . | [CA. | combining underdot | |
| ῾ | [CA<] | rough breathing | dasia |
| ᾿ | [CA>] | smooth breathing | psili |
| ι | [CAI | iota subscript | ypogegrammeni/ prosgegrammeni |
| ¨ | [CA:] | diaeresis | dialytika |
| ` | [CA` | grave accent | varia |
| ´ | [CA' | acute accent | oxia or tonos |
| ῀ | [CA~ | perispomeni | |
| ^ | [CA^ | circumflex accent | |
| ̆ | [CA? | breve accent | vrachy |
| ¯ | [CA/ | macron | macron |
All combining diacritics are typed after the letter. They can be typed with AltGr or Ctrl+Alt. Accents will display differently based on the order in which they are typed. Typing breathing mark or diaeresis, then accent, then iota-subscript usually achieves the best result.
Example: typing i[CA:][CA'] produces ΐ.
Example: typing v[CA>][CA~][CAI] produces ᾧ.
Most punctuation on the Greek Polytonic Unicode keyboard is typed exactly as on the English (QWERTY) keyboard.
Example: typing . produces ..
Example: typing ( produces (.
The Greek semicolon (ano teleia) and the Greek question mark are the only exceptions
Example: typing Q produces ·.
Example: typing q produces ;.
