Let me understand: are you a Greek-speaker, and you want to input Greek
text? Then you should look for input methods.
If, on the other hand, you need to insert some Greek symbols in math
only, then there are shortcut provided by the major modes. For example,
in AUCTeX, you have LaTeX mode math, where you have keybindings that
insert Greek character controls (such as \alpha, \beta ecc). Another
popular way is to use CDLaTeX mode, where you press '`', and have access
to a big number of commands (for instance, `a inserts \alpha, `. inserts
\cdot).

Does this answer you?
