Apple - How do you type Theta on a Mac?
Γο το Συστεμ Πρεφερενψεσ/Λανγθαγε & Τεχτ/Ινπθτ Σοθρψεσ, σεαρψη φορ Γρεεκ, αδδ ιτ. Νος υοθ μαυ τυπε θ φρομ κευβοαρδ.
Go to System Preferences/Language & Text/Input Sources, search for Greek, add it. Now you may type u from keyboard.
Or you may just use Find and replace function in Edit menu to change ø to θ afterwards.
It looks like no one has mentioned the Special Characters window.
- Press Command ⌘+Control ⌃+Space to bring up the Special Characters window.
- Type theta into the search bar.
- Your theta should be there:
As pointed out in this post, you can add keys to the press and hold key feature.
Edit the file "/System/Library/Input Methods/PressAndHold.app/Contents/Resources/Keyboard-en.plist"
, and add the following code:
By default, there is "no Roman-Accent-t" section, I coppied mine from "Roman-Accent-s." You could add θ to any key you like (e.g: "o") by modifying the appropriate section.
<key>Roman-Accent-t</key>
<dict>
<key>Direction</key>
<string>right</string>
<key>Keycaps</key>
<string>t θ</string>
<key>Strings</key>
<string>t θ</string>
</dict>
Note: Case sensitive. "Roman-Accent-T" is NOT the same as "Roman-Accent-t"
Caution: This is a system-wide change. Edit carefully or make backups.
Now, when you press and hold 't' this appears:
Then click θ or press 1 to have a "θ" inserted into your document.
I did not have to relog after making edits.
