I installed the Logos Biblical Greek Keyboard on my Windows 11 desktop, however, in the computer's keyboard settings it lists the keyboard as "Unavailable". When I tried using the keyboard to type Greek in Logos, it gave me strange characters. The Logos Hebrew keyboard works fine for me.

I tried uninstalling the Greek keyboard and reinstalling it, re-downloaded it, but still getting the same problem.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm not a Windows user myself but would like to try and help!

Have you tried working from this here, including the additional links on that page?

Thanks for your reply, Jason. That's the page I originally got the keyboards from, and neither it nor the additional link troubleshoots this problem. I think I'll have to look elsewhere for a keyboard.

I have just gone through the process of trying to install the Logos Biblical Greek Keyboard on my Windows 11 desktop and can confirm that it is not functioning properly. As an alternative solution, I went through the following steps and found that it worked quite well:

Does this help?

Hi Jordan,

You might want to try to this:

This is how I have installed Hebrew and Greek on W11. It may not be perfect but it does work.

Thanks, Aaron. I've installed the Polytonic keyboard as well now. However, I've got a 'new' problem which actually isn't new because I've had the problem previously with typing in Greek in Logos.

After I've typed a word or two, the cursor starts jumping back to the position before the letter I've just typed. For example (in English), if I am trying to type 'letter', after I've typed 'lette', when I type the 'r' the cursor jumps back to before the second 'e' in the word. I have to then manually move the cursor back to after the 'r'. If I then decide to add an 's' to the word, the cursor jumps to the position before the 'r', and I have to manually move the cursor again. And so on. This effectively makes typing in Greek pointless! But I'll create a new post for this problem and see if I can get some help.
