Greek Keyboard Help

Greek input

The writing block transliterates automatically — you never need to switch your operating-system keyboard. Two modes are available per drill page:

AUTO (default): English QWERTY keystrokes become Greek letters.
NATIVE: keys pass through untouched, for users with a real Greek keyboard layout installed. Pasted Greek text is never altered in either mode.

Letter map (AUTO mode)

Key	Greek	Key	Greek	Key	Greek
a	α	i	ι	r	ρ
b	β	k	κ	s	σ / ς
g	γ	l	λ	t	τ
d	δ	m	μ	u	υ
e	ε	n	ν	f	φ
z	ζ	x	ξ	c	χ
h	η	o	ο	y	ψ
q	θ	p	π	w	ω

Shift gives capitals: A → Α, B → Β, etc.

Final sigma is automatic. s produces σ inside a word and ς at the end: typing logos gives λογος. If you place the cursor after a final ς and type another letter, it becomes σ again.

Breathings (dead keys)

Type the dead key BEFORE the vowel that carries the breathing:

) smooth breathing: )a → ἀ, )e → ἐ, )o → ὀ
( rough breathing: (a → ἁ, (o → ὁ, (h → ἡ

With diphthongs the breathing belongs on the second vowel: οἱ is typed o(i, εἰμι is typed e)imi.

Iota subscript (dead key)

|a → ᾳ, |h → ῃ, |w → ῳ — or type it after the vowel: tw| → τῳ

Breathing and iota subscript combine: (|w → ᾡ.

Diaeresis (dead key)

:i → ϊ, :u → ϋ — also works after the vowel: ai: → αϊ

Pitch accents

Not needed and never graded. λογος and λόγος are the same answer here.

Keyboard flow in a drill

Each drill is one writing block: type each paradigm horizontally on ONE line, forms left to right separated by spaces, in the order shown above the block.

Enter: next line (the next paradigm of the set)
Ctrl+Enter (or the Check button): check the whole set
After a perfect repetition, Enter starts the next blank repetition
Esc: clear the status line
