GrkPolyComp.kmx is a mnemonic keyboard definition which enters Unicode values for Greek.
Keyboard Layout
The keyboard layout is described in terms of a chart rather than a keyboard. This is because many base characters are typed as a sequence of a letter followed by one of =, ~ or ^. Details of the keyboard layout may be found in the document in the section on Keyboard Assignments. (PDF, requires Adobe Reader)
Keyboard Installation
Keyman 6 or later is needed for using the keyboard. Keyman's latest version is available from here. If you will be writing or modifying keyboards, you will need the Developer version. Otherwise, get the regular version.
