    Greek polytonic keyboard


    There is currently no Greek polytonic keyboard available on Windows, for use in typing ancient Greek, only non-polytonic modern Greek. I see this question was asked in 2017, but it still is not available. Are there no plans to add it?

    :)

    Polytonic Greek

    Yeah, but as I literally said above, I have done this already. Language settings and keyboard are set to polytonic Greek. I just can't see how to manage certain combinations of accent+breathing mark which are absolutely standard for Polytonic Greek. But
    when I open the onscreen keyboard it only shows the option of combining a rough breathing mark with an acute accent. This is just bizarre.

    Is there a Greek polytonic keyboard on Windows 10? My language choice shows only modern (non-polytonic) Greek.

    TIA
