The Greek 220 keyboard layout is what I used at first, and the solution is the same as before:

Circumfleχ (΅) = Shift + Diaeresis (¨)

Again, the diaeresis for the Greek 220 on a QWERTY keyboard is the second key to the right of the l:
a-s-d-f-g-h-j-k-l-Acute accent-Diaeresis

Here's a link to the Greek (220) keyboard layout:

Damn.. it just doesn't work, also not on different layouts.. or what am I doing wrong.. I don´t get it
It's not a real problem anyway, there are maybe only 2 words containing that symbol. But would be nice if I can still find out how to use it.. thanks anyway for now ;)

Try one more thing: Remove all the Greek layouts you've added, and then only add the Greek (220) layout.

That's great! I think I know what happened. When adding several layouts of the same language, it's not enough to just switch languages in the language bar (located on the taskbar down to the right). You also have to switch between the different layouts within the language. This is done by clicking a keyboard sign that shows up next to the language bar.

I think I have to start typing in Greek now, after getting very familiar with this setup. ;)

Μαΐου!

Haha, thanks for the info!

Good luck at typing Greek, now I have really someone who isn't experienced with typing Greek to challenge.. I'm ready for a typing battle :twisted:

Μαΐου! :lol:
