Also, it's polytonic Greek, so you'll need to use a polytonic keyboard. If you paste "βα�λλω", you should get the work you're looking for (it's there).

can you show lemmas in one of the new greek modules, right click on one and then choose dictionary lookup?

It does lookup correctly. It may or may not actually have that lemma in the dictionary though. And sometimes it appears to be a bit off, picking a key that follows the expected one. (Something related to normalization perhaps? But I believe it's already all NFC.)

It mostly comes down to difficulties raised by accents and other diacritics.

BibleCS's LD pane doesn't load the whole module at once, but you can use page up/down for faster movement.

Searching in LiddellScott does not work. The index can be created but
the results are completely broken. It may be an encoding problem (well,
now it bites you too...)

This should work. We can search UTF-8 Bibles. I think when a focus changes between Bible, Commentary, Lexicon, the search window updates to have current module changed to whatever is focused. This code might also do something with setting UTF-8 in the search window.

Anyway, try right-clicking on a UTF-8 Greek Bible and select Search.

Hopefully it's a minor bug.

The same problem occurs when I search a word from MorphGNT, switch to LS, and click search.

Just to confirm, that the problem was as I described, I checked by switching to another locale (one that uses a non-Latin script) and did a Bible search. With the locale set to Ukrainian, a search will return keys localized in Cyrillic. Then BibleCS performs lookups on all those keys, returning the same verse text for all keys (which just display as a bunch of question marks for each book plus a legible chapter:verse number). And that repeated text is Rev 1:1.

Basically the key field just needs to be able to display UTF-8 (in addition to the result field, which already does).
