- QuestionWhere is the flag key mentioned above? I can't see it on my keyboard.
Community AnswerThe flag key should be located in the top right corner, by the clock. If you haven't added any secondary keyboards and it's not there, open your Settings and go to Keyboard Preferences. From there add whichever keyboards you want and then change the active keyboard easily from the flag icon. - QuestionWhy doesn't 'command + space' work for me?Community AnswerIt might be conflicting with other apps that use the same shortcut, so you may want to change the shortcut by going to the Apple menu, into your System Preferences, and clicking on Keyboard. From there, you can click Shortcuts to change what that keyboard shortcut does.
- QuestionWhat is the difference between a Greek keyboard and Greek polytonic keyboard?
Community AnswerThere are a few additional symbols on the Greek polytonic keyboard that were used in ancient Greece but aren't used nowadays. This option is pretty much solely for people who need to type an ancient Greek text.
