  1. How can I add a Greek Polytonic Keyboard to Windows 11?


    Windows used to enable a Greek polytonic keyboard. But now they only provide Greek and Cyprus Greek. I tried find the option to turn one of these into a polytonic keyboard, but I can't find any. Am I missing something, or did Microsoft take away a great feature and I have to find a new way to get a polytonic keyboard?

    :)

  2. 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 Keyboard on Windows 10

    Is there a way to have the polytonic greek keyboard on windows 10. Note that I don't want to change the language in which windows or other apps are displayed. I want to mantain English as my main language and the possibility to switch between normal qwerty
    keyboard layout and polytonic greek (θωερτψ) one.
