πλῆκτρα (Greek Keyboards): 

  • Hoplite Greek Keyboard App 
  • Mac and Windows have a Greek Polytonic Keyboard option under Greek in Keyboard settings, but combinations for diacritics vary by device. 
  • In a word processor (like Microsoft Word, or an equivalent) you can add more signs than a keyboard allows by inserting “special characters”. Go to “Insert”, click “Symbols/Special characters” (usually with a Ω sign), select “More…” then search for “combining” symbols. This will allow you to write all the combinations you need (including length + diacritics + iota subscript).
