How this list was compiled: Checked on 2026-10-01. Which Greek letter sits on which key, with and without Shift, and what the accent key and the two-dots key make with each vowel: the Greek layouts of two desktop systems as recorded in the Unicode CLDR keyboard data, release 41, https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/tree/release-41/keyboards (the files el-t-k0-windows.xml and el-t-k0-osx.xml), read on 2026-10-01. Each row is written from both files, which agree on every letter key. Character names and code points: https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt (Unicode 18.0.0). The sample, καλημέρα, is the Greek for good morning as given in its entry in https://en.wiktionary.org, read the same day. Left out: the two vowels that carry the two dots and the accent together (ΐ, ΰ), typed with Shift and W and then the vowel, because the tool matches keys without regard to case and would take every w before an i for them; the digit and punctuation keys, which type what a US keyboard types; and the old accents of polytonic Greek, which this layout does not have.

How it works

This Greek letter keyboard turns each key you press into the letter the standard Greek layout puts on it: a gives α, u gives θ and w gives ς. The semicolon key adds the accent.

Type, then copy

Type in Your text as if the Greek layout were switched on. Most keys follow sound: a is α, b is β, g is γ, d is δ. Eight do not: u is θ, j is ξ, c is ψ, v is ω, h is η, y is υ, x is χ, and w is ς, the sigma that ends a word. Shift gives capitals.

Accents, and Greek back to keys

Press the semicolon key and then a vowel for the accent: ;a gives ά. A colon and then i or y gives ϊ or ϋ. Swap turns a pasted Greek line into the keys that type it.

The sample is kalhm;era, the keys for καλημέρα, good morning.
Q types no letter: the Greek layout puts its question mark, the semicolon, on that key.

Which key is theta, psi or omega?

Theta is u, psi is c and omega is v. Xi is j, eta is h, upsilon is y and chi is x. The list under the tool gives the key for all 24 letters, small and capital.

Does it match a real Greek keyboard?

Yes, for the letters and the accents. Every row was checked against the Greek layouts of two desktop systems as recorded in the Unicode CLDR keyboard data, and the two agree on every letter key.
