Shift to other language

[dkace]

Hi all,
I am using UNIX and I meet some problems that certenly this forum can suggest a solution:
I want to switch during typing from Latin to Greek bu tit seems I can't! Not the "Windows Way" for sure.
Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks,

D.

Well, are you talking about inserting some Greek symbols or actually switching to a Greek keyboard layout?

If the former, you can probably find a Character Map somewhere under your menu.

If you want to switch to a Greek keyboard layout, check under your desktop environment's Control Center. Should be under "Languages", "International", or maybe "Keyboard". But essentially, you will be able to switch between a US and Greek keyboard map.

If you need more information, give us some more details of your system and what you want to do, and we can do more.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find something similar.
I am using HP-UX 11.0 system. As you understand, I am a newcomer in the UNIX community, therefore I am learning.
I tried to find something that resembles Control Center but no luck.
I would be glad if you could help me further,

Thanks,

D.

That's OK. This seems to all depend on what Desktop Environment you are using. If you are new then it is probably either KDE or Gnome. If it is KDE, then you will want to click on the main menu button, then Administration and then Keyboard OR you would want to click on the Main Menu button, then Settings, and then Regional and Accessibility and then change the keyboard layout there. If you are using Gnome then try to go to System, Administration/Preferences and then Keyboard and try to change your defaults there. Both of those options have different configuration options.

Thrillhouse, theanks, but I am loosing something here; Let me explain some more: i am using HP-UX with CDE enviroment. I can;t locate main menus or other things. Perhaps it will be better to interact with command line - which I don't master. Any ideas?
