News: AutoHotkey script for Ancient Greek
As the title suggest, this new script is used for typing Ancient Greek characters. This is done by using a program called AutoHotkey. You will have to install the proper version for your system first. After you installed the program, you can download my script here. It is a zip file containing exactly one script. Extract the file somewhere and double-click it to run.
Requirements:
1) Requires disabling the AltGr key if your keyboard has one. For instructions on how to do this in windows, see answer by Bittenus: http://superuser.com/questions/592970/can-i-make-ctrlalt-not-act-like-altgr-on-windows. Alternatively, you can download my package containing the keyboard layout I created based on a United States Internation keyboard (dutch language) layout. Use on your own risk. Always create backups first! See the link on how to make backups of your current keyboard layout.
2) A keyboard with the Right-WinKey.
Notes:
Most characters use a combination of left and right CTRL/ALT keys, however, some characters, such as the 'perispomeni' and 'tonos' diacretics, use the WinKey. Some variants of these diacretics even use a Right-Winkey. So make sure your keyboard has a Right-WinKey if you want to use these diacritics.
I have used the following layout as an example to map characters I was unsure of how to map them: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Greek_keyboard.png. Suggestions are welcome!.
Reference:
For a full table of characters that I have used as a (handy) refence, see:

Bugs:
Hotkeys using the WinKey do not work properly in Firefox :'(
