If your locale is set up to one of the Greek locales (el_GR.ISO8859-7 or
el_GR.UTF-8) you can type Greek text in an Emacs buffers in two ways:
- By switching your current desktop input method (e.g. Left_Alt+Shift)
- By switching the input method of Emacs itself (type `C-\' instead)
The second method has the advantage that it respects the rest of the key
bindings of Emacs, so you can safely type M-x, C-a, C-e or `C-x ...'
even when typing Greek text.
