This misses one point. None of us do that for English. Do you want to
type in one program, then cut and paste into another program, whatever
you write in the future? Wouldn't it be better to type Greek directly
wherever it was wanted?
What a Greek writer needs is a Greek keyboard. That exists in XP Greek
Polytonic, and it is based on the most widely used Greek keyboard
layout of all: the national Greek typwriter keyboard. And all of the
characters are accessible once you see the documentation on the
<right-ALT> + <left bracket> sequences. Happy typing.
