Greek keyboard. You type the accent or breathing after a vowel and only need to learn the location of five accent keys instead of fourteen (above). If you want a circumflex with a breather, click the circumflex key then the breathing key. You can watch the accented letter change before your eyes. If you click the wrong accent, simply click the proper one without having to delete. The accents change as you type them. This is very handy. In order to get a final sigma you have to download the Classical Greek keyboard by Mauel Lopez. The only problems that I have experienced is using with some non Microsoft programs like Word Perfect. Click here to go to the keyman site to download the program. This is the keyboard layout map for Keyman.
This is a program for typing Unicode in Microsoft XP/2000 Software. There is a free demo available. Here is the link: http://www.unitype.com/ There is also a web page that allows one to type in Greek Unicode. You can right click on the page and click "view source". Then copy all and save it as an HTM page that you can run from your desktop rather than using it online. Here is the link: http://www.users.ox.ac.uk /~tay|0010/letters_caretpos2.htm
