description

Vim keymap that enables one to write traditional (“polytonic”) Greek. The keymap is based on the corresponding Mac OS keyboard layout for polytonic Greek. All diacritics except the “breve below” are typed before the corresponding letter. In case of two diacritics the order is not important. The code is also available at "https://github.com/christosc/greek_mac"; .
