LOGOS BIBLICAL GREEK KEYBOARD LAYOUT

This layout description was created by Sarah J. Blake in order to assist students who are blind or visually impaired in learning the layout of the Logos Biblical Greek keyboard. Since the manual is in PDF format and, even when converted to a more usable form, relies heavily on diagrams and visual demonstrations, it seemed reasonable to create a resource so that key assignments could be located easily if necessary. If you don't wish to view the entire table, the following points will be of use.

Letters are arranged phonetically as much as possible. The v key is assigned to the letter final sigma, which appears differently in print but is the same character in braille as regular sigma. The w key is assigned to the letter omega.
To form accented letters, use the following key assignments:

slash for acute
backslash for grave
shift+grave (tilde) for circumflex

When adding breathing marks, type the letter followed by the breathing mark followed by any accent needed.
