I just want to be able to write my mother tongue & do my work in Emacs, similarly to how I did in proprietary software, either that's writing the Gospels, replying to an email or chatting in IRC. You can type English texts using a Spanish dvorak keyboard, but I wouldn't call that keyboard as an English keyboard. It has extra letters that are not part of the English alphabet & the keys are not what your average user expects. A greek-polytonic input method should be 1:1 compatible with greek (same keys for letters & oxia), just with the addition of extra tonous, pneumata & ypogegrammeni. -- Thanos Apollo https://thanosapollo.org
