Compose Key: Greek

The Lingua module provides support for Greek. If you have purchased Nota Bene, but not Lingua, you can purchase the Lingua module by going to our on-line order form and logging in as a current customer.

The compose key is used with Greek letters to add breathing marks or accents. To use the compose key with a letter, type the letter, press F6, find the letter with the diacritical marks that you want and double click on the character or type the letter in the small yellow box corresponding to the character that you want to enter. For more detailed instructions, see Compose key.

When you type a Greek letter and then press F6, the F6 pop-up screen will show all of the available options on the first screen. The characters shown in yellow squares represent characters with diacritical marks that are commonly used in Greek. Characters in gray squares show combinations of characters and diacritical marks that do not normally occur.

In Greek, breathing marks are shown in front of capital letters. To enter these marks, type the capital letter first and then press F6. The F6 pop-up screen will show the breathing marks in front of the letter.
