  It varies; they tend to follow to the keys on the early IBM dedicated keyboards with APL keys, styled like this: https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/images/Business/products/us_rc.jpg https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/images/Business/products/us_r... Nars2000 on Windows has its own application-specific key combos, with Alt+Key for the "lowercase" one and Alt+Shift+Key for the "uppercase" one. Dyalog APL, one of the popular commercial ones on Windows, installs a Windows system-wide input method which uses Ctrl+Key and Ctrl+shift+key; you can switch to it in any program. TryAPL.org uses a preceeding backtick so `w becomes omega, and there's a JavaScript bookmarklet which can add that to any text input on any browser page, here: https://abrudz.github.io/lb/apl https://abrudz.github.io/lb/apl (No idea what people are doing on *nix keyboard entry).
