Topic Accents,breathings,etc.

I can type Greek words but don't know how to write in accents, breathings, etc.. I can do this on the school computer where a student installed keyman Greek language keyboard.
Can someone tell me how to ad the accents?

The accents depend on the Greek keyboard - which Greek keyboard are you using?

For the Greek Polytonic keyboard by St Augustines Monastery, read the User Manual in the Start Menu->Programs->Greek Polytonic SA folder.

For the Greek Classical keyboard by Manual Lopez:

:

Most characters are as you would expect, but note: eta = h, theta = q, xi = c or j, chi = x, psi = y (psy), digamma=alt+v. Medial sigma is automatically converted to final sigma as appropriate. Accent marks (select AFTER the vowel): Perseus/Tufts Beta code system (combine as you wish): / for acute, \ for grave, = for circumflex, ] for smooth, [ for rough | for iota, + for diaresis - for breve, _ for macron ` is a deadkey to pass the next character through without translation. Hitting the same accent or breathing mark that a char already has will remove it. (For capital letters, the breathing mark should be selected before other marks.)
