Greek Keyboard Layout
Usage
After selecting which Greek Keyboard you would like to use, your keyboard will automatically reflect the change; when you type, it will be with Greek characters. Please consult the images of the Greek and Greek Polytonic keyboard layouts below:

As with the American keyboard, when you type while holding down the shift key, or with the ‘caps lock’ key on, the keyboard will produce capitalized characters. See the keyboard layout image below; this image corresponds to capitalized characters.
Diacritical Marks
To use the necessary diacritical marks in the Greek Polytonic keyboard, consult the keyboard layout and note the position of the marks on the Greek keyboard. The diacritical marks are already available for use on the Greek Polytonic keyboard, and are located on the right side of the keyboard.
To use the diacritical marks, you must first push the key corresponding to the desired accent, and then select the character to which you would like to add the accent. PLEASE NOTE Many of the diacritical marks will appear only when pressing the right “alt” key and then selecting the character you need accented.
