Greek Characters

There is a simple way to insert Greek characters inside the text or math regions of a worksheet: press the corresponding Latin letter, then press Ctrl+G.

Key Greek character Name
a α Alpha
b β Beta
g γ Gamma
d δ Delta
e ε Epsilon
z ζ Zeta
h η Eta
q θ Theta
i ι Iota

Note: the same keystrokes also produce the uppercase Greek characters (i.e. pressing Shift together with the letter before Ctrl+G).
