I know I can use a Greek input method, but what I want is quite different: how to use Emacs in an OS configured for Greek, without having to set the keyboard to English (or any other Latin alphabet language) when wanting to use Emacs.

I know I can set my own keybindings, but it is not practical. Should I just do so and create an ELPA package for Greek keybindings?

  • I haven't tried this package: github.com/a13/reverse-im.el but it sounds like it does what you want. In the example, change russian-computer to greek. – legoscia Sep 18 '18 at 16:28
  • Interesting question! Here is a similar question with Russian, rather than Greek. Ignore the accepted answer as it suggests using input methods, which isn't what you want. Some of the others might perhaps be helpful. reverse-im suggested above, might be a better solution, though, as the package is newer than any of the answers. (Haven't tried any of the solutions.) – aplaice Sep 18 '18 at 17:12

Thanks to @legoscia for suggesting the answer, and @aplaice for confirming it: http://github.com/a13/reverse-im.el, available from ELPA, does what I needed. Just changed russian-computer to greek in the sample initialisation code, and am happy.
