Frequently asked questions
How do I type a vowel with tonos?
Press Semicolon, or click Tonos, then type the vowel. The mark combines with the vowel. Press Backspace before the vowel to cancel it.
How do I put both marks on iota?
Activate Tonos and Dialytika, in either order, then type iota. The result is a single precomposed letter with both marks. Shift plus Semicolon activates Dialytika.
Where is final sigma?
Use W for final sigma and S for ordinary sigma. Choose final sigma at the end of a word. Shift or Caps lock on S gives capital sigma. Shift plus W is the combined tonos-and-dialytika dead key.
