#GREEK BIBLE FOR MAC HOW TO#
The following is how to step up a Greek polytonic keyboard on each of these systems. However, I have created a remedy keyboard for Windows systems called EZAccent and have it freely available for you below (as long as this site remains the only place to download it – I may find some slight improvement tweaks in the future and don’t want multiple versions confusing people.) I have not yet figured out how to do the same thing for Mac’s but its native system is sufficient.
The result is that windows has a key for each possible accent, breather and subscript combination. Mac operating systems allow for multiple dead key combinations (select breathing, select accent, select subscript and then finally select a letter) and Windows systems only allow for a single dead key. Currently Apple’s Mac has a notable edge for typing polytonic Greek in Unicode when comparing their normal accenting systems. Installation of mutlilanguage support and keyboard layout for GreekĪll operating systems are not created equal.
