Input Greek and mathematical symbols

Post date: Jun 25, 2017 6:55:0 AM

In order to input various symbols directly, mainly for mathematical and physical use, I created an input method several years ago. Based on normal English keyboard, I added all Greek characters, and normal mathematical symbols. The layouts are as follow:

And several symbols with Ctrl pressed (Ctrl is not preferred for it is often defined by applications hotkey).

This method is highly customizable . Using the tool Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, everyone can design his own keyboard layout. If you wish to modify mine, you could download the source file EnGrMa.klc blow; Download EnGrMa.7z installation package to use it directly.

It will be installed as an English language keyboard. Switch to it by normal ways as Ctrl+space, Ctrl+Shift, or clicking the language bar. If you want it to appear under other languages, go to Control panel → Regional and Language Options → Languages settings or Keybord settings → Text Services and Input Languages. The new installed input method will be listed as "English Greek Mathematical symbols". You can remove it and add it again under other language.

This is an input method only; To display all these symbols, font supporting Unicode should be present, e.g. Lucida Sans Unicode.
