The Keyman utility and SIL Galatia Polytonic Precomposed Keyboard/font that
Christopher is referring to is the one I mentioned in an earlier post. It's
also the one I use whenever I type Greek. You can find them both at
www.sil.org. I have no idea how it compares to a modern Greek keyboard. I
just know that I found it very easy to use.

I think this was meant for the list rather than myself. As a Mac user I have
a variety of polytonic Unicode keyboards to choose from, but I like
GreekKeys best for its convenient array of all the diacriticals in the
numeric tier of the QWERTY keyboard.
